    No official source we could read states a proof-of-funds requirement or amount for Somalia.

  5. Vaccinations

    Not an entry requirement: WHO's country list gives Somalia's country requirement at entry as no, and the US CDC says the vaccine is not required. Both say vaccination is generally not recommended for travel to the regions of Bakool, Banaadir, Bay, Galguduud, Gedo, Hiiraan, Lower and Middle Juba and Lower and Middle Shabelle, and the CDC says it is not recommended for other areas.

  6. Vaccinations

    The US CDC recommends that travellers going to Somalia take prescription medicine to prevent malaria, and to keep taking the rest of the pills after returning home if a doctor prescribed antimalarial medicine.
