Entry Refused
Disagreements between Somalia and 3 destinations have imposed restrictions in traveling to Somalia.
- Australia PermalinkShow on MapEntry Refused
- Canada PermalinkShow on MapEntry RefusedHolders of Somali passports are de facto excluded from Canada, as there is no authority in Somalia that is recognised by the Canadian Government as being competent to issue passports on behalf of Somalia, and Canadian immigration authorities will therefore not endorse visas in Somali passports. Somali citizens may travel on the passport of another country.
- New Zealand PermalinkShow on MapEntry RefusedHolders of Somali passports are de facto excluded from New Zealand, as there is no authority in Somalia that is recognised by the New Zealand Government as being competent to issue passports on behalf of Somalia, and New Zealand immigration authorities will therefore not endorse visas in Somali passports. Somali citizens may travel on a New Zealand Certificate of Identity, or the passport of another country.
