Ethiopia eVisa Requirements for Eritreans

The Ethiopia eVisa for citizens of Eritrea is a single-entry tourist visa. It is available to Eritrean passport holders traveling for tourism.

The whole application process is done entirely online. You only need a computer or device to get your Ethiopia visa for Eritreans.

Applicants from Eritrea simply need to ensure they have a stable internet connection, fill out the application form, and submit it. The questionnaire is quick and simple and can be completed in a matter of minutes.

The Ethiopian authorities then evaluate the information received and send a reply with the approved eVisa as a PDF to their email address.

There are two types of eVisas available for Eritrean visitors. Depending on their travel plans, Eritrean tourists can either apply for a 30-day or 90-day eVisa.

Eriteans must meet a few simple requirements for the Ethiopian eVisa and make sure there are no missing gaps or documents in their profile before applying. Eritrean nationals must ensure they have the following documents and items ready:

• Eritrean passport with at least 6 months’ validity from the date of arrival in Ethiopia
• Passport-style photograph of the applicant
• Digital image of the biographical page of their passport
• Debit or credit card to pay the Ethiopia eVisa processing fee
• Active email address

The Eritrean passport must be valid for at least 6 months before the intended date they arrive in Ethiopia. Candidates whose travel document is due to expire sooner are obliged to renew it before applying.

To cover the small Ethiopia eVisa processing fee, Eritreans should use a debit or credit card with sufficient funds and activated for online transactions.

The approved eVisa for Ethiopia will be delivered by email to the account you provide on the application.

Eritrean citizens can get their visa by filling in the quick Ethiopia eVisa online form and submitting their application.

To apply for an Ethiopia visa online for Eritrean citizen, you must enter the required information into the relevant fields of the form. This includes the following details:

• Travel details
• Basic personal information (name, nationality, etc.)
• Eritrean passport details

Eritrean candidates filling out the application form must take special care and double-check their answers before finally submitting them. If there is any mismatch between their answers and the information published on their passport or any typos, their approval could be delayed or denied.

The Ethiopia eVisa is automatically and electronically linked to the Eritrean visitor’s passport. We also recommend that the Eritrean citizens print out a copy of the eVisa or store it on their smartphone in case officials in Ethiopia ask to see it.

The tourist eVisa to Ethiopia authorizes Eritreans to enter Ethiopia via air only. It is important to note that the only airport they can fly to with the eVisa is Bole International Airport in its capital, Addis Ababa. It does not grant entry to the country through any land border or any other airport.

Eritrean travelers should bear in mind that if their passport is lost, stolen, or damaged between the moment of approval and the date of their intended arrival, they must apply for a new eVisa. The Ethiopia eVisa is electronically linked to the Eritrean passport registered in the application and is not transferable to a new one.

On the same note, Eritrean citizens with dual nationalities should also take care that they travel with the same passport as they used to apply for the eVisa.

Travelers should bear in mind that the eVisa is a single-entry visa. Eritrean visitors who want to cross the border in the middle of their trip must apply for a new eVisa before re-entering Ethiopia. This is quick and easy to do online.
