What it means in practice

14 days is about two weeks. If you arrive on 1 November 2026, your last legal day is 14 November 2026, because the arrival day is day one. Use the stay calculator for your own dates.

For a longer base you need an extension, if one exists, or a different visa from the start. Repeated back-to-back entries are at the officer's discretion.

How Djibouti counts your stay: As stated on your visa.

How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Plan to leave a day or two early. With 14 days, book your exit before the last legal day so a cancelled flight doesn't push you over.
  • Extend before you run out. Request an extension online on the e-visa portal before your visa expires.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Djibouti. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
