Information about eVisa for Ethiopia
The eVisa for Ethiopia is an electronic travel authorization for foreigners with a passport of any of the eligible countries. It was introduced by the Government of Ethiopia to reduce unnecessary time at the immigration offices and make it easier to cross the border.
The validity is one year since it is issued and it allows you to enter the country multiple times for 30 or 90 consecutive days (depending on your choice).
