What Iranian travellers said
Rated 3.5 / 5 by 2,147 verified travellers worldwide. Here are a few recent reviews from customers we have helped with their visa applications.
Did the Simien Mountains trek then drove down through Bahir Dar. eVisa team caught a passport-photo background issue and we re-shot before submitting. Approved on Priority in 4 working days.
Coming via Doha, we transited under 12 hours so didn't need the Yellow Fever card. eVisas confirmed that upfront. Everything went smoothly at Bole.
Tips for Iranians visiting Ethiopia
Fly into Addis Ababa Bole
The eVisa is valid only at Bole International Airport (ADD) - it does not cover land borders.
Yellow fever depends on your route
Coming directly from Iran you generally will not need a certificate; you would only need one if you transit a yellow-fever country for over 12 hours.
30 days, extendable
If you need longer, an extension can be requested in-country through Ethiopian immigration.
Print your eVisa
