Apply from Austria — £66The essentials for Austria
How long it takes

What you pay
£66 in total. That single price covers everything, with nothing added later.
How long it lasts
The eVisa is valid for up to 180 days from issue — enter Somalia within that window.
Your Austrian application checklist
- Your Austrian passport, valid for six months or more beyond your arrival date
- A clear photo or scan of the passport's photo page (all four corners visible)
- A recent head-and-shoulders photo against a plain, pale background
- The date you plan to arrive in Somalia
- Sponsor details, if you are applying as a non-Somali (Ajnabi) visitor
- An email address you check regularly — the approved eVisa is sent there
Good to know before you fly
Most European departures connect through Istanbul, Dubai or Addis Ababa, and airlines check for an approved eVisa at check-in before the connecting flight. Our team double-checks your passport scan, photo and travel date so the application isn't sent back for corrections.
Questions from Austrian travellers
Is a visa required for Austrian citizens visiting Somalia?
It is. Every Austrian passport holder needs an approved Somalia eVisa before departure, whatever the purpose of the trip. EvisaSomalia can arrange it for you online.
How quickly can I get a Somalia eVisa from Austria?
Standard applications take 24–72 hours after we receive complete documents. For last-minute trips, Express handling ($150) aims for about 5–6 hours during Somali working hours.
Are there any extra charges on top of the price shown?
No. The £66 you see covers everything, including our document checks and processing — nothing is added later.
Do I have to be in Austria to apply?
No. Everything is done online, so you can apply from home, from work or while already travelling — as long as the eVisa is approved before you fly to Somalia.
