Somalia Visa

Somalia – Passport and Visa Required

A passport is required for travel to Somaliland and Puntland.  Both regions require a visa and issue their own at their respective ports of entry.  For travel to other parts of Somalia, including Mogadishu, a passport and visa are required.  Visas are issued at certain Somali embassies, including in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Nairobi, Kenya and single entry seven day validity visas are available for U.S. citizens on arrival at Mogadishu for $50.  Air and seaports are under the control of local authorities that make varying determinations of what is required of travelers who attempt to use these ports of entry.

Travelers may obtain the latest information on visas as well as any additional details regarding entry requirements from the Permanent Representative of the Somali Republic to the United Nations, telephone (212) 688-9410/5046; fax (212) 759-0651; email somalia@un.int, located at 425 East 61st Street, Suite 702, New York, NY 10021.  Persons outside the United States may attempt to contact the nearest Somali embassy or consulate.  All such establishments, where they exist, are affiliated with the central government, whose authority is not established throughout all of Somalia.

NOTE:
The Somali government ceased U.S. operations on May 8, 1991 and still does not maintain an embassy in the United States. Further information on travel to Somalia can be obtained from the Department of State
