Anyone who is traveling to Hargeisa with a foreign passport also requires a Somalia issued e-visa. Dont believe anyone who tells you otherwise

Its possible that they are trying to defy the new regulations as much as possible but the FGS is aware and they're planning to take action such as downgrading Hargeisa airport to a local airport and forcing international airlines to go through Mogadishu. These issues will be resolved soon.

Some are carrying Somalia passport, while others are presenting a Somaliland eVisa at the border. Airlines don’t have a way to actually verify if these documents are valid. All they can do is check that the name, passport number, and dates match.

I'm seeing news that Somalia will be integrating its ETA system with airlines from the 27th, meaning people won't even get a boarding pass if their eVisa isn't valid.

Let’s start Qaadhaan for the brothers from north west who needed assistance paying for the evisa.

Yeah its a new policy. You will now be asked for the e-visa if you're using a foreign passport.
