Türkiye to Djibouti visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders need an eVisa to visit Djibouti for tourism. Apply online before travel at the official portal evisa.gouv.dj; the short-stay tourist eVisa costs about USD 23 and allows up to 90 days. A Turkey ordinary passport holder is not eligible for visa-free entry to Djibouti and must obtain an electronic visa (eVisa) before traveling for tourism. Djibouti operates an official online eVisa system at evisa.gouv.dj, which issues two main categories relevant to short visits: a transit visa (1-14 days, about USD 12) and a short-stay/tourist visa (15-90 days, about USD 23). The eVisa is valid only for arrival by air at Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport; travelers entering by land or sea must obtain a visa in advance from a Djiboutian embassy or consulate. Applicants need a passport with at least six months of remaining validity and at least one to two blank pages, a digital passport photo, and flight/accommodation details. Processing typically takes a few business days, but applying 10-14 days ahead is advised. Note: visa-free entry to Djibouti is reserved for Turkish diplomatic, official, and service passport holders, not ordinary passports. Conditions can change, so always confirm on the official Djibouti eVisa portal before booking.
