Do Swedes Need a Visa for Ethiopia?

Yes, passengers traveling with a Swedish passport must have a valid visa to enter Ethiopia.

Tourists from Sweden can get a visa rapidly and easily by applying online. This avoids an unnecessary trip to a diplomatic mission to file the visa application paperwork in person.

To get an Ethiopia eVisa for Swedes, simply complete the short online form and you will receive the visa by email within a few days at most.

For non-tourist trips and long-term stays in Ethiopia, Swedish nationals should inquire at an Ethiopian embassy, such as the one in Stockholm, for the correct visa and/or permits. This applies to Swedes planning to move to and/or work in the African country.

Types of Ethiopian eVisas and their main Features for Swedish Tourists

The Ethiopia Electronic Visa (eVisa) is a handy online visa system that allows international visitors to get authorization to visit the country without having to leave their own home. Swedish nationals are eligible for all the benefits of the eVisa system according to the Ethiopian visa policy.

Swedish travelers can choose between the 2 following eVisa types to visit Ethiopia:

  • Ethiopia eVisa for 30 days – This online visa grants Swedes a stay of a month in Ethiopia. Once granted, they have 30 days to use it for their arrival.
  • Ethiopia eVisa for 90 days – This eVisa is suitable for Swedish travelers interested in staying in Ethiopia for up to 3 months. They have up to 90 days to use it to enter the country.

The Ethiopian eVisa for Swedish nationals is a single-entry visa. If your travel plans include leaving Ethiopia temporarily to visit a neighboring country, simply reapply online to get your new eVisa. This will allow you to re-enter Ethiopia.

The online visa for Ethiopia with its two options for different lengths of stay is perfect for Swedes traveling to Ethiopia for leisure and relaxation.

Requirements for Swedish Visitors to obtain the Ethiopian eVisa

The Ethiopian government has a few basic visa requirements for Swedes. These conditions are standard for Swedish citizens used to international travel and easy to meet.

Applicants from Sweden must have the following items to complete their Ethiopian eVisa application:

  • Swedish passport valid for at least 6 months on their arrival in Ethiopia
  • Digital copy of the biographical page of their passport
  • Passport-style photo recently taken (6 months or less)
  • Email address
  • Bank card activated for online payments

Swedes are advised to renew their passports before applying if they are set to expire within 6 months.

Travelers with the eVisa are required to arrive at Bole International Airport.

How Can I Apply for an Ethiopia eVisa for Swedes

Swedish nationals can apply for the Ethiopian eVisa quickly and easily by completing an online questionnaire. This takes a matter of minutes. It is a simple and standard form where Swedish applicants will be required to share the following information:

  • Passport and personal details
  • Entry date in Ethiopia
  • eVisa type (30 or 90 days)

Travelers from Sweden need to ensure that all the information they provide on the Ethiopian eVisa application form is valid and matches what is displayed on their passports. Inconsistencies or errors could delay their approval or lead to rejection.

As part of the application process, Swedish travelers must pay a small Ethiopia eVisa processing fee. The price depends on the type of visa selected.

Receiving the eVisa for Ethiopia from Sweden

It can take up to 2 business days to process the Ethiopia eVisa application. In many cases, Swedish applicants receive their visa even sooner.

Once the eVisa has been approved, it will be delivered to the email address provided by the applicant on the online form.

Travelers should print a copy to take with them to Ethiopia.

Swedish Tourists Visiting Ethiopia with the eVisa

Upon reaching Bole International Airport, Swedish arrivals should head straight to the fast-track counters, which are compatible with online visas and saves time at passport controls for foreign visitors. They will be required to submit their passport and eVisas for inspection before being allowed to enter the country.

Visas on arrival for Swedish travelers in Ethiopia

Swedish nationals who have not had the chance to apply beforehand for the eVisa are authorized to request a visa on arrival. This option is only available at Bole International Airport and often entails long queues at border controls.

If the Ethiopian visa on arrival is denied, the Swedish traveler will not be allowed to enter the country and will be forced to book a flight home.

For these reasons, the eVisa is widely considered the safer and easier option. With the quick online application, you can have your visa approved before traveling. Upon arrival, you will not have to waste time dealing with paperwork; simply present your eVisa and passport at border control and you will be able to enter Ethiopia and enjoy your vacation.
