As of March 2025, Ethiopia has reinstated the visa-on-arrival policy for citizens of many countries arriving at Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport. However, it’s important to note that this facility is available exclusively for air travelers; those entering Ethiopia overland must obtain a visa prior to arrival.
Visa-on-Arrival Requirements:
Eligibility: Nationals from numerous countries are eligible for a visa on arrival. For a comprehensive list, please refer to the official Ethiopian e-Visa website.
Fee: The visa fee is $50 USD per person, payable in cash upon arrival. It’s advisable to carry smaller bills to facilitate smooth payment.
Passport Validity: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended date of entry into Ethiopia.
Accommodation Details: Be prepared to provide the name and contact information of your tour operator or the hotel where you’ll spend your first night in Ethiopia.
Documentation: No passport photos or additional documents are required for the visa-on-arrival.
Important Considerations:
Overland Travelers: If you’re entering Ethiopia overland, you must obtain a visa before arrival, as the visa-on-arrival is not available at land border crossings.
E-Visa Option: Alternatively, you can apply for an e-Visa online before your trip. This option allows for a single-entry visa valid for up to 90 days. It’s recommended to apply at least a few days prior to your departure.
Visa Extensions: Extensions for visas obtained on arrival are generally not granted. If you anticipate staying longer, consider applying for a visa through an Ethiopian embassy or consulate before traveling.
Currency: Visa fees are accepted in USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD. Card payments are also acceptable.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, always verify visa requirements with the nearest Ethiopian embassy or consulate before your trip.

Start with your holiday package by choosing a guided tour package. It’s the best way to travel with family because all the details are pre-planned for you. This is especially important if you are not keen on researching destinations yourself.
For those who do pre-plan, take some time to create a complete itinerary following some research on the destination you are visiting. Pay special attention to special festivals, weather, and political climate when you are working on the itinerary. This provides space for back up plans in case of unforeseen travel problems.
The itinerary also ensures that everything is planned based on what you/ your family wants to see and experience. Just make sure all the activities are something worth trying and gives you and your fellow travellers a new dimension of the places visited.
If you are travelling on a budget then you should plan with flight, ground arrangements, passport, visa, meals, transport, shopping and contingency cash for emergency.
