Important: Visa-on-arrival is no longer available in Somalia. Effective September 1, 2025, Somali authorities replaced it with a mandatory electronic travel authorization system (eVisa/eTAS) that applies to virtually all foreign visitors, including Sudanese citizens. This means the application must be submitted online in advance, with approval received by email before departure — not on arrival at the airport. At Baeed Travel & Tourism, we provide a professional service to fully prepare your electronic authorization application and follow it up until approval is issued, ensuring smooth travel with no surprises at the entry point.
