Djiboutians need a visa before they fly to the UAE. The foreign ministry lists Djibouti as visa required. A licensed Dubai company files a GDRFA tourist visa for AED 210 (30 days) or AED 315 (60 days). We assemble the file and check each document before it is sent.
What we could confirm, and what we could not
The entry rule is clear: visa required, no arrival visa. The rest is thinner. We found no official Djiboutian page about UAE travel advice for its citizens, and no official page for Djibouti's embassy in the UAE. Third-party directories list an embassy in Abu Dhabi and a consulate general in Dubai. We do not treat that as confirmed. Ask the Djibouti foreign ministry for the current address and hours before you go.
What it costs and what goes in
The government part is AED 210 (30 days) or AED 315 (60 days) for a single entry visa, and AED 315 or AED 525 if you want multiple entry. These come from GDRFA's tourist visa pages, checked . Agencies in Dubai list the 30-day visa at roughly AED 340 to AED 800 (8 agencies, ), which includes their own margin.
For the file we need the passport (6 months left after arrival), a colour scan of its photo page, a passport-style photo on white, your return ticket and insurance valid in the UAE. If a relative hosts you, we add their Emirates ID and residence visa.
How it works with us
WhatsApp us the passport page and your dates. An adviser tells you which visa fits and quotes one total price. Then we file the request, reply to GDRFA if it asks anything and send the e-visa. We are a private visa service, and the authority makes the decision.
The government fee is not refunded after a refusal. Ask your adviser for the written refund terms before you pay.
After you land
A tourist visa can be extended inside the UAE up to 120 days in total. An overstay is fined at AED 50 a day. Working needs a permit from an employer, not a visit visa. See work visa in Dubai.
