Eligible citizens of Djibouti must not exceed a month of stay in Turkey during the 180-days validity of their permit.

The applicant must choose Djibouti as their country of origin and select the type of travel document they plan to use in their travel. Djiboutian travelers have to disclose personal information, passport details, and travel itinerary with accuracy. To avoid discrepancies during the application, Djibouti applicants should take time to review the form before submission. Incorrect, mismatch, or incomplete information may invalidate visa entry and may require another application. Several payment channels are available in the portal for their convenience.

Djiboutians can apply a week before their intended travel to Turkey. The result may be out within twenty-four to seventy-two hours after Djiboutians submit their application. Djibouti travelers will get a notification through the email they registered. (Turkey E-Visa available as PDF)
