ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
A passport is required for travel to Somaliland and Puntland. Both regions also require a visa and issue their own, which can be obtained at their respective ports of entry. A passport is required for travel to other parts of Somalia, including Mogadishu, but no visa is required.
Travelers may obtain the latest information on visas as well as any additional details regarding entry requirements from the Permanent Representative of the Somali Republic to the United Nations, telephone (212) 688-9410. Persons from other countries should contact the nearest Somali embassy or consulate. All such establishments, where they exist, are affiliated with the Transitional National Government based in Mogadishu, whose authority expired in August 2003 and is not widely accepted throughout Somalia, including the Somaliland and Puntland administrations.
