Our guide to the Ethiopia visa from Brazil
Brazilian nationals need a visa for Ethiopia; the simplest option is the e-Visa requested online before departure, with a visa on arrival also available at Addis Ababa airport.
A Brazilian traveller wishing to visit Ethiopia must obtain a tourist visa. The recommended route is the e-Visa on the official portal evisa.gov.et, to be requested before leaving Brazil; a visa on arrival is still issued at Bole International Airport. The passport must remain valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Brazilian citizens are not exempt and must hold a visa to enter Ethiopia. The tourist e-Visa is requested entirely online; a visa on arrival is also available at Addis Ababa airport, but the advance e-Visa avoids queues and secures boarding.
How much does a visa for Ethiopia cost from Brazil?

How to apply for a visa for Ethiopia from Brazil

Where do you apply for a visa for Ethiopia from Brazil?
A visa on arrival for Ethiopia is issued at the border post itself, at a counter placed before immigration control.
- Not every crossing issues it. Confirm that your specific airport or land border does before you book.
- The counter is reached after landing and before immigration. Follow the visa signs rather than the exit.
- The fee is usually paid on the spot, sometimes in cash and in a specific currency. Card is not guaranteed.
Using an online service
You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in Brazil on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Brazil but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing and tips
