FAQ

Visas for Somalia citizens

Where can Somalia passport holders go visa-free?
Visa-free: 14 countries and territories, including Benin, Cook Islands, Dominica, Gambia, Haiti and Kenya. In 1 more country, an electronic travel authorisation is enough โ€” it takes a few minutes online.
Where can you stay the longest without a visa?
The longest stays: Benin โ€” 90 days, Haiti โ€” 90 days, Kenya โ€” 90 days and Rwanda โ€” 90 days.
How accurate is this, and how often is it updated?
The reference is updated weekly and cross-checked against two independent sources; where they disagree, the country is marked โ€œReferences disagreeโ€. Only the destination country can confirm its rules โ€” check its official website or embassy before you travel.
What is an electronic travel authorisation versus an e-visa?
