## Official evidence timeline

- **September 1, 2025 — Foreign ordinary passports: mandatory electronic travel authorization** (ETA)
  The SCAA AIC introduced eTA for foreign passports; the later current SCAA AIP states that all arriving passengers must obtain eTA and all visas are issued online. The later all-arrivals rule controls because it does not reproduce the earlier named exceptions.
  - Apply through the Electronic Travel Authorization System before travel and present a valid eTA; the current AIP says all arriving passengers must do so, and the AIC warns that failure where required may result in denial of boarding or entry.
  - ICA describes tourist visa as one of its entry-permit categories and says the permit may be a letter, stamp or sticker. The eTA rule does not establish stay duration, entry count, fee, work, residence, business-only, transit, crew, diplomatic, official, service, UNLP, multiple-visa, residence-permit or other special-document routes.
  - The earlier 3 September 2025 AIC names Rwanda/Malaysia as visa-free and eleven ordinary-passport nationalities as visa-on-arrival. The later current AIP, effective 27 November 2025, instead says all visas are issued online and all arriving passengers need eTA, without preserving an exception list. This temporal official-source conflict is resolved conservatively in favour of the later all-arrivals operational rule and requires recheck.

- **Current official route — Somali ordinary passport: citizen return access** (Citizenship)
  The Federal MFA directly provides a temporary travel document for Somali citizens who need to return to Somalia even without a valid travel document. That direct citizen-return evidence supports the catalog citizenship classification.
  - The source supports return access for a Somali citizen, not a foreign-entry visa classification. Identity, citizenship verification, public-health, security and border-control requirements remain applicable.
  - It does not model refugee, emergency, diplomatic, official, service or other special-document treatment beyond the MFA's described citizen-return document.
