    Djiboutian ordinary passport: citizenship

    A traveller using a Djiboutian ordinary passport is classified as citizenship rather than under the foreign-visitor visa rules.

    • The published Nationality Code distinguishes Djiboutian nationals from foreigners. This is a narrow citizenship classification, not a finding about any particular passport, residence, diplomatic, service or special-document procedure.

    Palestinian ordinary passports: 2026 advance-visa visitor cohort

    The State of Palestine's current ordinary-passport schedule labels this exact destination cohort "Visa is required" and separately labels electronic and arrival-issued routes elsewhere in the same schedule. It is normalized as advance visa required.

    • Georgia and Panama have separately stated waivers for holders of specified third-country visas. Those conditional document routes are excluded from this passport-only baseline.
    • Mission availability, passport recognition, individual admission, route, transit, work, residence, diplomatic, official, service and other special-document treatment are outside this policy.
