This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK, who choose to travel despite FCDO advice. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of Somalia’s current rules for the most common types of travel.
The authorities in Somalia set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Somalian Embassy in the UK.
Passport validity requirements
To enter Somalia, including Somaliland, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 6 months after the date you arrive.
Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
Dual nationals
When returning to the UK, British citizens must carry a valid British passport or certificate of entitlement. See Dual citizenship.
Visa requirements
You must have a visa to enter Somalia, including Somaliland.
E-Visa data breach
There are reports of a data breach affecting Somalia’s eVisa system
Leaked data from the breach includes visa applicants’ names, photos, dates and places of birth, email addresses, marital status, and home addresses. This data breach is ongoing and could expose any personal data you enter into the system,
An eVisa is required before travelling to Somalia. Consider the risks before applying.
US Embassy in Somalia have also issued an alert to US citizens. See - Alert: Federal Republic of Somalia (FGS) Electronic Visa (E-Visa) Data Breach - U.S. Embassy in Somalia.
If you are travelling to Mogadishu International Airport, you will need to apply for an eVisa prior to your arrival.
If you are travelling to Hargeisa International Airport, you may still be asked to present this eVisa in order to board your flight but it will not be considered valid for entry when you arrive in Hargeisa.
You will need to purchase a single-entry visa upon arrival at Hargeisa International Airport, which will be valid for one month.
It is not clear if you’ll be given a visa on arrival at other points of entry. Get confirmation from local authorities or your sponsoring organisation.
You may also need to provide a letter of invitation when you arrive, outlining the reason for your visit. You can usually get this from your place of work. Without this letter, you may not be allowed to enter.
Vaccine requirements
For details about medical entry requirements and recommended vaccinations, see TravelHealthPro’s Somalia guide.
Customs rules
There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of Somalia, including Somaliland. You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.
Khat is a legal drug in Somalia, but it is an offence to take it out of the country. Officials regularly search bags at Hargeisa and Mogadishu airports, and anyone found to be in possession of khat is likely to face criminal prosecution.
Taking money into and out of Somalia (including Somaliland)
In Somaliland you must declare cash or travellers cheques if the value is 10,000 US dollars or more.

Areas where FCDO advises against travel
Parts of Somalia, including Somaliland
FCDO advises against all travel to Somalia, including Somaliland, except for the regions of Awdal, Maroodijeh, and Sahil.
FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the regions of Awdal, Maroodijeh, and Sahil.
This is due to the threat from terrorist groups and continuing violence. If you choose to remain in Somalia, you do so at your own risk. You should have a personal emergency plan that does not rely on the UK government.
Find out more about why FCDO advises against travel. There has recently been an increase in fighting between al-Shabaab and the Somali Government close to the capital Mogadishu. Please see the Terrorism section for more information.
Support from FCDO
Support from FCDO is severely limited in Somalia, including Somaliland, with no support in person from staff at the British Embassy Mogadishu or the British Office Hargeisa.
If you need urgent help from the UK government, for example if you’ve been arrested or you’re concerned about forced marriage, contact:
- the British High Commission Nairobi, Kenya if you are in Somalia, excluding Somaliland
- the British Embassy Addis Ababa, Ethiopia if you are in Somaliland
If you’re in the UK and are concerned about a British national in Somalia, including Somaliland, call FCDO on 020 7008 5000.
People of Somali descent, including Somaliland descent
The government of Somalia and the authorities in Somaliland will consider any British national of Somali (including Somaliland) descent to be a dual national. FCDO can offer only limited consular support in these cases.

Laws and cultural differences
Personal ID
Always carry your passport and visa with you as ID. Somali nationals should consult local authorities in Somalia on personal ID requirements.
Ramadan
Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims. The dates vary by year and country. During this time, do not:
- eat, drink, smoke or chew gum in public in the daytime, including in your car
- play loud music or dance
- swear in public
Get more advice when you arrive from your tour guide, hotel or business contacts.
You should also:
- check opening hours of shops and restaurants
- be aware that if hotels and restaurants are providing food or drink in fasting hours, they may separate you from Islamic guests, for example with screens
- follow local dress codes – clothing that does not meet local dress codes may cause more offence at this time
- be aware that fasting can cause tiredness, particularly during the later afternoon and early evening
- be patient and show tolerance
Public offences
Somalia has adopted Sharia law but is yet to implement it throughout the country. Al-Shabaab and other insurgent groups often have an extreme view on how to apply Sharia law.
It’s illegal for Somali Muslims to convert to another religion or promote any religion other than Islam.
Alcohol laws and bans
The drinking and sale of alcohol is banned in Somalia.
Illegal drugs and prison sentences
Drug offences, including drug use, possession and trafficking, are treated seriously in Somalia and are punishable by law. Possible punishments include a lengthy prison sentence without bail.
LGBT+ travellers
Same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Somalia. LGBT+ partners should not show affection in public.
Read more advice for LGBT+ travellers.
Money
Credit cards are not widely accepted in Somalia and it is not possible to get currency advances using a credit card. You should take cash with you into the country. The US dollar is the main currency for exchanging in Somalia.
In Hargeisa you can withdraw US dollars from ATMs using international credit and debit cards.
