Somalia visa status from Bangladesh: the eTAS online system
Last checked against official sources on
Since 1 September 2025, every foreign visitor to Somalia must apply online through the eTAS system (etas.gov.so) before travelling 1. The Immigration and Citizenship Agency of the Federal Government of Somalia runs it 1.
The agency describes eTAS as offering "clear requirements and online tracking" 2. Its pages list entry visas, visa extensions, visa-on-arrival information, and residence and work permits 2. A student visa is not among them 2.
Fees, processing times and rules for Bangladeshi applicants are not published on the pages the agency makes available. Questions can go to info@immigration.gov.so before applying 2.
Have the application reference from eTAS ready when using the status check above.
