Ethiopia is one of Africa's oldest civilizations and most captivating destinations — from the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela and the medieval castles of Gondar to the otherworldly Danakil Depression and the coffee-scented highlands of Sidama. As the only African nation never colonized, Ethiopia offers a cultural depth unlike anywhere else. U.S. citizens can now apply for an eVisa entirely online before departure.

FAQs

How much does the Ethiopia eVisa cost?

The Ethiopian government charges approximately $52 for a 30-day single-entry eVisa, $72 for a 90-day single-entry, or $82 for a 90-day multiple-entry eVisa. eGovRush's service fee is added on top. We apply the 90-day single-entry fee by default — let us know in your order notes if you prefer a different option.

Is Addis Ababa a good stopover destination?

Yes — Addis Ababa Bole International Airport is a major hub for Ethiopian Airlines and a popular transit point between Africa, Europe, and Asia. If you're staying in Addis Ababa for more than a few hours, an eVisa lets you explore the city's vibrant markets, the National Museum (home of 'Lucy'), and some of the best coffee in the world.

Do I need a yellow fever vaccination for Ethiopia?

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required if you are traveling from or transiting through a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Even if not required for your specific routing, the CDC recommends the vaccine for most travelers visiting Ethiopia due to potential risk in certain regions.

Can I visit Lalibela and the Ethiopian highlands on a tourist eVisa?

Yes. The tourist eVisa covers travel throughout Ethiopia, including the UNESCO-listed rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, the Simien Mountains National Park, the Omo Valley, and the Danakil Depression. Note that Lalibela requires a separate site-entry fee payable in-country.
