Travelling to Chad?

Everything you need for Chad, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.

TRIP FILE DATA

Chad has the Ennedi massif: stone arches in the middle of the Sahara and rock paintings thousands of years old. It is also one of the poorest countries on earth, with conflict in several regions and official advisories against much of the territory. Both things are true at once.

Travel notes for Chad

TD / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

Chad doesn’t touch the sea anywhere: it’s wrapped by its neighbours, so any way out is a land border. Beach means leaving the country, and that’s worth knowing while you build the trip.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 10 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Summer in Chad lands between June and August, and the prices and the queues come with it. If you can pick, May or September give you the same place with fewer people and less heat.

MONEY

Paying your way

Tipping is a local custom, not a universal one: in some countries it’s built into the bill, in others it’s an insult, and in others it’s how the staff actually get paid. Ask once when you arrive and you’ll stop guessing at every table.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Travel insurance looks like an expense until the day it isn’t: one night in a hospital abroad costs numbers you don’t expect. Sort it before you book, and check whether your card already includes some: sometimes it does, and almost nobody looks.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

Download the area map before you leave home: it works with no signal and it saves the day you land and the eSIM takes a minute to latch on. With an offline map and a translator ready, getting lost stops being a problem and becomes a plan.
