Our team always reviews your documents and assists you during the entire application process to avoid rejections; but if for some reason the Ethiopian government rejects or cancels your application, you are eligible for a full refund of the processing fee related to the number of rejected applicants. Other than that, we do not refund the government fees.

You may consider re-applying for the Ethiopia Business eVisa, depending on the reasons for cancellation or rejection.

Once your eVisa expires, you have to leave the country. Staying in Ethiopia without a valid visa is considered an offense and can lead to fines and penalties. However, you have the option to apply for a visa extension in the country if need be.
Ethiopia has a low cost of living, so there is no particular bank statement requirement and you don’t need to prove that you have a certain amount of funds. However, it is advised to ensure that you have enough funds to support your stay in the country.
The shortest visa processing time is only about three business days, so you must apply at least three days before your travel date. However, applying seven days before the trip is recommended to guarantee you will have everything on time, even if additional information is required.
At iVisa, we understand that your time is valuable, and we strive to provide you with the fastest service possible. Our processing times are estimated based on the average duration it takes governments to process visa applications. These estimated times begin from the moment we receive all the correct information for your application until you receive your visa. While we work diligently to expedite the process, it’s important to note that we are reliant on the processing times set by the government authorities.
