Djibouti Passport Ranking – Visa Free Access to 47 Countries

The Djibouti passport currently ranks 94th globally in 2025, offering visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 47 destinations worldwide. This East African travel document provides moderate international mobility, with access primarily to African nations and select countries in Asia and Oceania. While the passport's ranking has fluctuated between 77th and 101st place over the past two decades, it has gradually expanded its visa-free count from 19 destinations in 2006 to 47 in 2025. Djibouti passport holders benefit from regional travel advantages within the African Union and strategic access to key business and tourism destinations, though extensive international travel typically requires advance visa arrangements.
