Discover visa requirements for your trip
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 and where to apply
From Brazil, the applicant completes the form at evisa.gov.et, uploads a photo and the passport bio page, then pays by card. The approved e-Visa is emailed as a PDF and must be printed to show at immigration control on arrival.
Documents and fees
Have ready a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photo, an address of accommodation and a return ticket. The fee amount and validity period are shown on the official portal; in Ethiopia a yellow fever vaccination certificate may be required depending on your route, so check this before travelling.
Processing and tips
Apply for the e-Visa several working days before departure to allow for processing. Keep both a printed and a digital copy of the e-Visa, and carry the yellow fever certificate if your itinerary requires it.
Common mistakes
Common mistakes are ignoring the possible yellow fever vaccination requirement, letting the passport drop below six months of validity, or using an unofficial site. Go only through evisa.gov.et.
