Djibouti eVisa for French Southern Territories Citizens
Eligibility for French Southern Territories Nationals
As a citizen of the French Southern Territories, you are eligible to apply for a Djibouti eVisa through the online platform. The system is open to French Southern Territories residents and processes applications according to the same standards as all other applicants. You do not need to attend any office in person or schedule appointments. Your application is handled entirely online.
Understanding Your Djibouti eVisa
Your Djibouti eVisa functions as an electronic permission slip that grants you entry into Djibouti. The document is valid for a predetermined length of time and gets electronically linked to your passport upon approval. With your eVisa in hand, you can travel to Djibouti and present it alongside your passport at immigration checkpoints.
The eVisa allows you to travel to Djibouti for tourism, business activities, visiting relatives, or attending events such as meetings and conferences. It does not authorise you to work in Djibouti or engage in paid employment. If your travel involves work, you will need to explore alternative visa options through official diplomatic channels.
Completing Your Application
Your application journey starts by selecting your visa category based on your travel purpose. You will then complete an online form with your personal information, passport details, and information about your trip. The form is user-friendly and clearly guides you through each step.
After completing the form, you will upload your supporting documents as digital files. These files must be clear, readable, and in the accepted formats. Once you have submitted your complete application, you will receive a confirmation email with your application reference number. This number allows you to check your application status at any time.
When your application is approved, you will receive your eVisa via email as a PDF document. You should print this document and carry it with your passport when travelling to Djibouti. Present both documents at the airport or border.
Understanding Costs and Processing Time
Your eVisa application involves two fees: a government fee determined by Djibouti authorities and a service fee for processing your application online. The total amount depends on your visa category and whether you select standard or expedited processing.
Processing times vary based on your selected option and the current volume of applications. For detailed information about fees specific to your visa type and expected processing duration, please visit the Djibouti eVisa fees and processing time page.
Documents You Need to Provide
Your eVisa application requires supporting documents to verify your identity and validate your travel plans. These documents are essential for the authorities to assess your eligibility. The specific documents needed depend on your visa category and individual circumstances.

Important Requirements for Your Application
- Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your expected return date from Djibouti. If your passport is nearing expiration, you must renew it before applying for your eVisa. You cannot travel with an expired or soon-to-expire passport.
- Before submitting your application, review all the information you have entered carefully. Verify that your name, passport number, and travel dates are correct and match your passport exactly. Errors or inconsistencies can lead to delays or rejection. Once submitted, you cannot modify your application.
- Your eVisa is issued exclusively to you and cannot be used by another person. Each traveller, including children and infants, must have their own eVisa. Family members cannot share a single eVisa.
Questions from French Southern Territories Travellers
What if I need to travel very soon?
If your departure date is approaching, you can select expedited processing when applying. This faster
option accelerates your application review and approval, though it comes with an additional cost. Check
the application portal for expedited options available for your visa category.
What should I do if my application is rejected?
You will receive an email explaining the reason for rejection. Typical reasons include missing
documents, information mismatches, or passport validity issues. Read the explanation, correct the
problems, and submit a new application with the necessary changes.
My passport expires in five months. Can I still apply?
No, your passport must be valid for at least six months from your departure date. If your passport does
not meet this requirement, you must renew it first. This is a mandatory requirement for all eVisa
applications.
Can I extend my eVisa if I want to stay longer?
No, you cannot extend your eVisa once it is issued. Your eVisa is valid for a fixed period only. If you
need to remain in Djibouti longer, you must apply for a new eVisa before your current one expires. Plan
your stay duration carefully.
I did not receive my approval email. How do I get my eVisa?
Log into your application account using your email address and password. You can download your eVisa
approval document from your account dashboard. If you continue to have difficulty, our support team can
assist you.
