Ethiopia Visa
Begin exploring Ethiopia today with an eVisa
Ethiopia allows citizens from many countries to visit with an eVisa. The eVisa permits a stay of up to 30 consecutive days for recreational, family, and friends visits or any nonbusiness visits.
Eligible applicants can apply for the Ethiopian eVisa online without needing to visit an embassy or consulate. Moreover, the visa validity starts from your date of arrival in Ethiopia, not from the day it is issued.
We have a team of visa consultants who ensure your application is free of errors. If there is an error, we address it right away and get it corrected. This maintains a high approval rate.
After you submit your online eVisa application, it will be processed and approved within three (3) working days. The approved eVisa will be sent to you via email.
