Ethiopia Visa Information

Tourist Entry & Visa Options for Traveling to Ethiopia

Ethiopia is a culturally rich and historically significant destination, famous for its ancient heritage sites, diverse landscapes, and unique traditions. Many nationalities can apply for an e-Visa online before traveling, which makes the process convenient and accessible for short tourist visits.

For visitors who do not use the online system, Ethiopia also offers a Visa on Arrival at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport for many eligible travellers. Tourist visas typically allow stays of 30 or 90 days, depending on the type selected. Applicants generally need a valid passport, proof of accommodation, and travel itinerary details.

Travelers wishing to remain longer than the permitted period can apply for visa extensions through Ethiopia’s immigration office. Additional visa categories exist for purposes such as work, study, or family reunification, enabling extended stays beyond regular tourism.
