Frequently asked questions
In 1991 north-western Somalia declared separation as Somaliland. Since then it has had its own government, legislature, security forces, currency, tax system, has held multiple elections with transfers of power, and issues its own passports. But no United Nations member state recognises it as an independent state.
Very few countries accept them for entry. Many Somalilanders travel internationally on Somali passports or third-country documents. Do not believe any offer of a Somaliland passport as a travel solution.
A passport has value not because the issuing state says so but because other countries agree to treat it as valuable. Somaliland has everything needed to issue a valid passport — territory, government, population, administration, secure printing. The only thing it lacks is other people's agreement, and that absence alone makes the document nearly unusable.
What you buy is a position in a recognition network, not a booklet. That position is decided by third parties and they can change their minds — this library has recorded countries whose visa waivers were suspended or tightened after their programmes were assessed as loose. So compare the depth and durability of the recognition network, not this year's visa-free count.
Among the world's most effective non-bank remittance networks. Remittances from the Somali diaspora are among the largest income sources in the entire economy, at times larger than total international aid. Somalia also has one of Africa's most widely used mobile payment systems.
When state infrastructure is weak, people do not stop transacting — they build their own. But that does not substitute for a functioning state, because hawala and mobile wallets cannot issue a passport, register a birth or confirm title to land. The thing only a state can do — record that you exist and who you are — is precisely what nothing else replaces.
Livestock — Somalia is among the largest exporters of live animals to the Gulf — plus fisheries, bananas, aromatics, remittances and telecoms. It has the longest coastline on mainland Africa, at the Horn of Africa by the entrance to the Red Sea.
No, this is not a place to plan a personal relocation at present. There is armed conflict and serious security risk, recurrent drought causing food crises, weak state institutions across many fields, and the Somali passport is placed in strict-check categories by many countries.
