Passport Requirements for Djibouti eVisa
Essential Passport Criteria
A valid passport is the cornerstone of your Djibouti eVisa application. Adhering to the specific passport requirements set by the Djiboutian authorities is mandatory for a successful application. Failure to meet these criteria can result in the rejection of your eVisa request.
This page outlines the key conditions your passport must satisfy.
Key Passport Conditions:
Your passport must be valid for a minimum of six (6) months from your intended date of entry into Djibouti. For example, if you plan to enter Djibouti on January 1st, your passport must be valid at least until July 1st of the same year.
It is highly recommended to have a passport validity that extends well beyond this minimum to avoid any issues during your travels.
Your passport must contain at least one (1) completely blank page. This page is required for the immigration officials to affix entry and exit stamps upon your arrival and departure from Djibouti.
Pages marked 'endorsements' or 'amendments' are not considered blank visa pages.
The passport must be in good condition. It should not be damaged, torn, or have any unofficial markings. Significant damage, especially to the biographical page or cover, can lead to your eVisa application being denied or refusal of entry at the border.
Ensure all information on the biographical page is clear and legible.
For the online eVisa application, you will need to provide a clear, color scan or digital photo of your passport's biographical page (the page containing your photograph, personal details, and passport number).
- The scan must show all information clearly, without any glare or obstructions.
- All four corners of the biographical page should be visible.
- The file should be in an accepted format (usually JPEG or PNG) and meet any specified size limits.
Generally, information about previous passports is not required for a standard eVisa application unless specifically requested. However, if you have recently renewed your passport and your previous passport contained valid visas or entry stamps relevant to your travel history, it's good practice to keep it, though it's typically not needed for the eVisa application itself.
Focus on ensuring your current passport meets all the above criteria.
