Republic of Djibouti visas
Djibouti publishes a public eGov foreigners section for eVisa, foreign identity-card guidance and ANEFIP work-authorisation services, plus an official eVisa platform for online visitor filings and visa-extension signposting. The route set covers tourism, business and transit eVisa, traditional work or study visa signposting, work authorisation, work-authorisation renewal, visa extension and foreign identity-card guidance. Public fee and duration tables are limited, so applicants should confirm charges and validity inside the official portal or with the competent mission before payment or travel.
