Frequently Asked Questions - Somalia Travel Agency

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our local agency, payment methods, and the eTA process.

About Our Agency

Is this the official government website?

No. We are a private travel agency based in Taleex, Mogadishu. We are not the government. We act as your agent to manually process your application at the immigration office. The official government website is etas.gov.so, where you can apply on your own without our assistance.

Where is your office located?

We are physically located in the Taleex district of Mogadishu, Somalia. Because we are local, we can visit the immigration office in person to resolve issues with applications. You can view our location on Google Maps.

Why should I use you instead of applying directly?

Applying directly is cheaper, but risky if you make a mistake (no refunds). Clients choose us for:

  • Pre-verification: We check your documents before payment.
  • Sponsor Letters: We assist foreigners who don't have a local host.
  • Payment Ease: We accept Remittance/EVC, whereas the government site requires cards that sometimes fail.
  • Advocacy: We fix stuck applications.

Payments & Refunds

How do I pay? I don't see a credit card option.

We deliberately do not use credit card processors on the website to avoid banking delays/holds.

Local Clients: Pay via EVC Plus.
International Clients: Pay via Remittance apps (WorldRemit, SendWave, Dahabshiil) directly to our mobile wallet. We will email you the details after you submit your form.

What happens if my application is rejected?

We offer a 100% Manual Refund Guarantee. If we cannot get you approved, we do not keep your money.

  • If you paid via EVC, we refund to your EVC number.
  • If you paid via Remittance, we will ask for your personal PayPal email and send you a direct P2P transfer from our personal funds to ensure you get your money back instantly without banking delays.
Do you charge separately for the government fee?

No. Our package prices (e.g., $99 or $150) include the government visa fee. You pay one total price to us, and we pay the government on your behalf.

Process & Delivery

How do I receive my eTA?

We provide undeniable proof. Once approved, we email you the Official Government Download Link (e.g., immigration.etas.gov.so/verify...). You click this link to download your document directly from the government server.

For those existing applications we Fast-Trracked to approved, the approval email comes directly from the government email address.

How long does processing take?
  • Somali Diaspora: Typically 24 hours.
  • Foreigners: Approximately 3 business days (due to sponsor letter verification).
  • Fast-Track: Usually within 24 hours of payment.

Note: We operate Saturday to Thursday. Friday is a holiday in Somalia.

Can you provide a Sponsor Letter?

Yes. This is part of our Foreigner (Ajnabi) Package ($150). We work with registered local hotels and agencies to provide a valid invitation letter required by immigration for non-Somali citizens.
