Lebanese citizens enjoy the same privilege, which means that you can apply online for your Ethiopia visa. With iVisa, you can have it in your e-mail inbox in as little as 4 days. But remember that the eVisa can only be used if you enter Ethiopia via Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. Other points of entry require a consular visa.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an Ethiopia eVisa?

What are the requirements?

The first thing you are supposed to do is to make sure that you have everything necessary for a successful application process. You will see that you do not need much. Only the following:

  • Valid passport – you cannot apply for an Ethiopia eVisa unless you hold a valid passport. Plus, the document has to remain valid for at least another 6 months from the day you intend to cross the Ethiopian border.

  • A scan of your passport’s bio page – you will be required to upload it when you fill in the form.

  • A digital passport photo – when it comes to your picture, make sure that it is taken recently and follows all the other guidelines for a valid passport photo.

  • E-mail address – since the entire application process happens online, you will receive your eVisa via e-mail in PDF format. Do not forget to print out at least one physical copy.

  • Means of payment – You can make the payment using your credit or debit card, but you can also use PayPal, Alipay, or WeChat.

What are the fees and the processing times that Ivisa offer?

When it comes to the former, iVisa gives you three options:

  • Standard processing – this may be the slowest available option, but it is the cheapest as well. Your application is processed within 7 days, and the cost is USD $157.99.

  • Rush processing – this time, things move a little bit faster. You receive your Ethiopia visa within 5 days, but the fee goes a little bit higher. You must pay USD $206.99.

  • Super Rush processing – if you want your eVisa as soon as possible, you can choose this option. Your application is processed within 4 days, but you are charged USD $275.99.

As for the validity, the fees above apply for the 30-day Ethiopia visa. You have the option of selecting a document that is valid for 90 days, in that case you'll be charged $20 more for each processing time.

How is the online application form offered by ivisa?

iVisa created a short, 3-step application form that you have to fill in. However, keep in mind that if you need some help along the way, or you have questions, you can reach iVisa’s customer support via online chat or phone. The service is at your disposal non-stop and is entirely free of charge.

As mentioned above, the form consists of three steps.

  1. Step number one requires you to provide some general information about yourself and your trip. You also have to choose a processing time for your application and a period of validity for your Ethiopia visa, both of which determine the eVisa’s price.

  2. Step two consists of payment and review. This review is crucial. Any mistake will lead to an invalid eVisa.
