#CARD:Djibouti:Travel\Consular Information
Djibouti - Consular Information Sheet
October 18, 1993
Country Description: Djibouti is a developing African country. Facilities
for tourism are limited.
Entry Requirements: Visitors to Djibouti must have passports and obtain a
visa before arrival. Evidence of yellow fever immunization must be
presented. Travelers can obtain further information on entry requirements
at the Embassy of the Republic of Djibouti, 1156 15th Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20005, telephone (202) 331-0202 or at the Djiboutian
Mission to the United Nations, 866 United Nations Plaza, Suite 4011, New
York, N.Y. 10017, telephone (212) 753-3163.
Areas of Instability: The potential for guerrilla activities exists in all
areas of the country, especially along the Ethiopian/Djibouti border. The
U.S. Embassy has instructed its personnel not to travel within Djibouti City
after dark.
Medical Facilities: Medical facilities are limited. Medicine is often
unavailable. Doctors and hospitals are likely to expect immediate cash
payment for health services. U.S. medical insurance is not always valid
outside the United States. Supplementary medical insurance with specific
overseas coverage has proved to be useful. Questions on health matters can
be referred to the Centers for Disease Control's international travelers
hotline at (404) 332-4559.
Information on Crime: Petty crime occurs in Djibouti City and elsewhere in
the country. The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported
immediately to local police and to the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
The pamphlets "A Safe Trip Abroad" and "Tips for Travelers to Sub-Saharan
Africa" provide useful information on safeguarding valuables and protecting
personal security while traveling abroad and on travel in the region in
general. Both are available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Drug Penalties: U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the country in
which they are traveling. Penalties for use, possession, or trafficking in
illegal drugs are strict, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences
and fines.
Registration: U.S. citizens who register at the U.S. Embassy may obtain
updated information on travel and security within Djibouti.
Embassy Location: The U.S. Embassy is located at Plateau du Serpent,
Boulevard Marechal Joffre, in Djibouti City. The mailing address is B.P.
185. The telephone number is (253) 35-39-95.
No. 93-269
This replaces the Consular Information Sheet dated December 24, 1992, to
provide information on reporting the loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport.
