When people plan their trips, they have several aspects in mind like where they are going to stay and how they are going to get there, but there is one thing that must be taken care of first. We do not live in a world where we can go anywhere when we want. Visas are still a thing, and until we can roam the world free, we need them to cross the border.

Ethiopia is a wonderful destination, and there are plenty of things to experience there. However, you cannot enter the country without a visa. Lucky for about 30 nationalities, the Ethiopian Government implemented the eVisa, an electronic visa that can be obtained online. That, of course, only if you go there by plane and land on the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport.
