Where do you apply for a visa for Ethiopia from Morocco?
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 Morocco on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Morocco 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.

How long does a visa for Ethiopia take?
A visa on arrival is issued at the counter of the entry point when you cross the border: there is no processing time to plan for before departure.
Processing and practical advice
Because the visa is handled on arrival, allow time for formalities at the counter after landing or crossing the border. Confirm payment arrangements through an official source before travelling. It is sensible to carry small amounts of cash if the counter requires it, without assuming the accepted currency or amount.

Common mistakes
Do not assume that documents, fees or payment methods will remain the same from one trip to another. Avoid arriving at the counter without checking official requirements before departure. Do not confuse the associated stay of 3 months with visa validity or a processing time.

Tips for extending your stay in Ethiopia
- Apply for your extension at least one week before your initial visa expires.
- Gather all necessary supporting documents, including a letter explaining the reason for the extension.
- Contact the Ethiopian Immigration Office or embassy for the exact procedures and current fees.
- Keep a copy of your passport and visa at all times during your stay.
For example, a tourist arriving with a 30-day visa can request an additional 30-day extension by submitting a request at the Immigration Office in Addis Ababa, paying the required fees, and justifying the need to stay longer.
