Somalia Passport

The mobility picture for the Somali passport is restrictive in 2026: 97th globally, with only 32 destinations available through simplified entry routes. African mobility tends to be strongest on regional corridors and more uneven on long-haul routes. The direction has not all been positive: it stood at 81st in 2006. Access has still improved, rising from 15 to 32 destinations. The supporting scores are modest too, at 8 globally and 12 for openness. This passport leans heavily on arrival-based access rather than pure visa-free entry: 20 destinations offer visa on arrival, including Madagascar, Bangladesh, and Burundi. There are also 10 visa-free destinations, such as Benin, Cook Islands, and Dominica. The practical advice is simple: check the visa route early and keep the 6-month validity buffer in mind before booking. Use this as planning data, not final permission to travel; official embassy or border-authority guidance should be checked before departure.
