Ethiopia Tourist eVisa: Official USD 62 and USD 152 Options (2026)

Check exemption and the separate arrival route

The official page maintains a separate Tourist Visa on Arrival list and states that Kenya and Djibouti citizens with valid passports are visa-exempt. Check that page for the passport before paying online.

Official Tourist eVisa

The Tourist Visa is an electronic single-entry visa for tourism or other non-business travel. The page says citizens of all countries are eligible when they meet the requirements, but exemption and on-arrival paths still need checking first.

Current duration and fee

• 30 days, single entry: USD 62.
• 90 days, single entry: USD 152.

The validity period starts from the intended entry date, not the approval date. Choose that date carefully.

Processing and documents

Normal processing is 3 days, and the portal says to submit at least 3 days before estimated arrival. The mandatory documents are:

• a recent passport-size photo;
• the passport, valid for at least 6 months from intended entry.

The general information page also requires a scanned colour passport copy.

Extension and overstay

The Tourist Visa page allows an extension request before expiry. It also warns that staying beyond validity without an extension can lead to fines and legal penalties.

The official wording about the online versus in-person extension channel is unclear. Use the current extension route shown in your account instead of relying on an unofficial penalty table.

Entry point not stated on the pages reviewed

The official pages read for this guide did not publish a current list of eVisa ports or a sentence confirming land-border use. Do not assume a land crossing accepts the eVisa. Ask the Immigration and Citizenship Service for the exact intended entry point before paying.
