Which eVisa should I choose?

Choose the 30-day eVisa for a shorter trip on the historic route, or the 90-day eVisa for an extended trip taking in the Danakil Depression and the Omo Valley.

What documents do I need?

A passport valid for at least six months from arrival, a recent photo, a confirmed return or onward flight, and an email address for your approved eVisa.

How long does the eVisa take?

Ethiopia eVisas are usually approved within a few working days. Apply ahead of travel via the official portal.

Should I rely on a visa on arrival?

A visa on arrival is available at Addis Ababa airport for many nationalities but is not guaranteed, so applying online in advance is the safer choice.

Depending on the eVisa you choose, you can stay for up to 30 or up to 90 days.
