Reviewed 28 June 2026Djibouti electronic visa platform ↗
Rule changes note —Djibouti publishes a public eGov foreigners section for eVisa, foreign identity-card guidance and ANEFIP work-authorisation services, plus a separate official eVisa platform. The reviewed public source set is strongest for eVisa purpose limits and work-authorisation evidence. It does not publish public fee tables or all consular visa checklists, so fee, validity and mission-specific document details should be confirmed inside the official portal or with the competent Djiboutian mission before payment or travel.
OverviewSourcesEligibilityPathwayApplyFAQ

Overview

The official eVisa platform includes a visa-extension workflow and its English content tells applicants that, to extend a visa, they should visit the immigration office or contact immigration@evisa.dj. The same content says the period of remaining validity of the visa must be more than or equal to 48 hours. Because the public eGov pages do not publish a full extension checklist, applicants should treat this as an official signpost and confirm the current extension form, fee and evidence with the immigration office or inside the eVisa account before relying on it.

ℹ️ Who can apply?

You do not need a job offer or employer to apply for the Visa Extension. This route does not lead to permanent residence. Open to qualifying applicants from all countries.
