Discover visa requirements for your trip

Do you need a visa for Ethiopia?
Yes. A Danish passport does not allow visa-free entry to Ethiopia for tourism. The recommended route is the e-Visa, applied for online before departure. Issuance on arrival may exist at certain entry points, but the e-Visa obtained in advance remains the safest and fastest option at the border.
How and where to apply
The application is made online, from Denmark, on the official portal evisa.gov.et. You upload your passport photo page and a passport photo, enter your itinerary and accommodation, then pay the fee by card. The approved e-Visa arrives by email: print it for immigration at Bole Airport (Addis Ababa).
Documents and fees
Prepare a Danish passport valid for at least six months beyond entry, a recent passport photo, an address of accommodation and a return ticket. The e-Visa amount is not confirmed in this guide: check the official fee on evisa.gov.et. Depending on your itinerary, a yellow-fever vaccination certificate may be required on entry.
Processing time and practical tips
Processing time is not fixed: submit the application several working days before the flight to absorb any delays. Check the spelling of your name and your passport number before submitting. Carry a printed copy in addition to the digital version, in case of a network failure on arrival.
Common mistakes
Use only the official portal evisa.gov.et: many copycat sites charge unnecessary fees. Do not always rely on issuance on arrival. Do not forget yellow fever if your trip requires it, and make sure your passport validity exceeds six months to avoid denied boarding in Denmark.
