Djibouti Visa for Chinese citizens

If you are travelling on a Chinese passport, Djibouti is reachable with an online eVisa instead of an embassy appointment. Chinese travellers can complete the whole Djibouti application from home and receive the approval by email.

Can Chinese citizens get a Djibouti eVisa?

Djibouti grants online eligibility to Chinese citizens across 3 visa options such as Tourist Evisa (Single Entry for 90 days), Business Evisa (Single Entry for 90 days), Transit Evisa (Single Entry for 14 days). Djibouti currently supports Single Entry, with a permitted stay of 90 days or 14 days. Government fees range from US$47.00 to US$58.00, depending on the visa type. Standard processing is typically 3 working days. Faster handling can sometimes be arranged on request — around 5 hours has been possible — but it is not guaranteed.

Documents and tips for Chinese travellers

Chinese passports generally need at least six months of validity and blank pages; verify both, as these are common refusal triggers. Fees are charged in US dollars; Chinese applicants should use a card enabled for international payments, as domestic-only cards may be declined. The most common avoidable mistake for Chinese citizens: using a payment method that is not enabled for international transactions, which interrupts the application midway.

• Enter your name in Latin letters exactly as printed in your Chinese passport.
• Ensure your payment card works for international USD transactions before you start.
• Have your itinerary and accommodation details ready, as additional evidence is more commonly requested.
