Somalia visa for Irish citizens

For Irish citizens planning a visit to Somalia, the e-visa option is currently the primary pathway, allowing for a maximum stay of 30 days and with three distinct tourist visa types available for application. Securing your e-visa in advance is crucial, as direct flights from Dublin often involve multiple layovers, making pre-arrival planning essential for a smooth journey. Considering the significant time difference and the local use of the Somali Shilling, currency exchange and preparation are practical steps to take before your departure.
