  1. Somalia

    Tip

    Before
    Bring clean, recent US dollar notes — cash dollars and mobile money pay for nearly everything, and ATMs accepting foreign cards are scarce and unreliable.
    After
    Take cash, in US dollars: the UK FCDO says credit cards are not widely accepted and the dollar is the main currency for exchange. In Hargeisa you can withdraw dollars from ATMs with international cards.

  2. Somalia

    Tip

    Before
    Somaliland runs its own entry regime — flights to Hargeisa require a separate Somaliland visa (issued on arrival or through its missions for many nationalities), and federal Somali visas are not accepted there, nor Somaliland visas in Mogadishu.
    After
    The UK FCDO says that if you fly to Hargeisa you may be asked to show the Somali eVisa to board, but it is not valid for entry there: you must buy a single-entry visa on arrival at Hargeisa International Airport, valid for one month.

  3. Somalia

    Tip

    Before
    Somalia is under do-not-travel advisories from virtually every government — terrorism and kidnapping risks are severe, independent tourism is effectively impossible, and visitors travel with armed escorts arranged before arrival.
    After
    The UK FCDO advises against all travel to Somalia, including Somaliland, except the regions of Awdal, Maroodijeh and Sahil, where it advises against all but essential travel; Canada advises avoiding all travel. The FCDO says road travel is dangerous and to get advice from a security firm or sponsoring organisation.

  4. Somalia

    Customs note

    Before
    Narcotics are strictly prohibited; khat is legal and widely traded domestically.
    After

  5. Somalia

    Customs note

    Before
