iVisa

Updated on May 14, 2024

All UK citizens are now eligible for an Ethiopia e-Visa, which means you are no longer needed to go to the Ethiopian Embassy to get your visa. You do not have to go to an interview, you do not need to go through a tedious process, and what is even better is that you do not have to leave the house.

You can apply for an e-Visa anytime and from anywhere. However, keep in mind that you can use an Ethiopia e-Visa only if you travel by plane and land on Addis Ababa Bole International Airport.

To understand other details, we invite you to keep reading this article, we guarantee that you'll find valuable information for your trip.

All visitors that come from the UK may stay in Ethiopia for 30 days in total. Keep in mind that you can't use this travel authorization for any type of work.

What are you required to do?

Things are as simple as possible. First, you need to make sure that you have all the proper documentation. That included:

  • A valid passport that keeps its validity for 6 months from your arrival in Ethiopia.

  • A scan of your passport.

  • A digital passport-sized photo of yourself (preferably recent).

  • A residence permit – this requirement is applicable only if you are a UK citizen, but you live in another country.

After you put together the documents, you can move on to the application. You have the option of choosing a 30-day eVisa or a 90-day eVisa. The process is the same for both. Only the price differs.

What are the costs and the processing times?

The price of your Ethiopia visa depends on two things: the duration of your stay (30 or 90 days) and the processing time. As for the latter, you have three options at your disposal:

  • Standard – you get your travel document in 7 days, and you have to pay USD $143.99. This is the most commonly used by many of our travelers.

  • Rush – this option means that your visa will be completed in 5 days, and the total amount due is USD $165.99.

  • Super Rush – this is meant for people who need their visa as soon as possible, which is why you will receive it in just 7 days. However, the price is USD $205.99.

The prices mentioned above are for the 30-days visa. The 90-days visa costs more. Delays may occur, which is why iVisa recommends that you apply for your Ethiopia e-Visa at least three days earlier than you plan. When delays happen, you will be notified via email.

  2. In the second step, you are required to revise everything you did in step one and make the payment to iVisa. You can do that using a credit/debit card or a Paypal account.

  3. The final step consists of uploading additional documents (the ones mentioned above.) After you complete the three steps, all you have to do is submit your application and wait for your visa to arrive via email in the timeframe you selected in step one.
