1. What Visa do I need to visit Ethiopia from Denmark?

Danish nationals can apply for an Ethiopian tourist visa online or at the airport. Ethiopia tourist visas are valid for a single entrance for periods of 30 or 90 days:

  • 30-day e-visa: This visa is for tourism only which is valid for 30 days from the intended date to arrive in Ethiopia and allows Danish citizens to stay in this country for 30 days.
  • 90-day e-visa: This visa is also for tourism purposes which is valid for 90 days from the issuance date and has a maximum duration of 90 days.

Danish visitors are urged to apply for an Ethiopia visa online. Because the e-visa notifies passengers of their visa eligibility ahead of departure, it can assist visitors in avoiding difficulties and uncertainties upon arrival.

Please keep in mind that passengers with an e-Visa must enter Ethiopia through Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. The online visa prohibits travelers from entering the country through any other port.

What documents are needed to get an Ethiopian visa?

Danish residents must produce the following papers when applying for an e-Visa to Ethiopia:

  • Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months during your trip to Ethiopia.
  • The passport should have at least two blank pages for stamping by the Immigration Officer.
  • A scanned copy of the biographical page of applicants’ passports.
  • A recent 6-month passport-size photograph.
  • Applicants having dual nationality should pick the nationality that was used on the passport when filling out the online form.

Ethiopia Visa cost for Denmark citizens

When requesting an Ethiopian visa online, two sorts of e-visa fees must be paid: the Ethiopia service fee and the Ethiopia Government fee.

  • Ethiopia Government Fee: Before receiving a visa, you must pay this sum to the Ethiopian Immigration Department. For those who want to apply for an e-visa, this cost is compulsory because Denmark is not on the visa exemption list of Ethiopia.
  • Ethiopia service charge: The service price is determined by the number of people your application covers and how quickly you need the visa.

Types of Ethiopia visa services that can be used

  • Normal visa: For those who require an e-visa within three business days.
  • Urgent visa: For those who require an e-visa in less than two days.
  • Super Urgent visa: For those who require an e-Visa within 24 hours.

We strongly advise you to buy Ethiopia travel insurance for your trip in Ethiopia. When traveling outside of your home country, you can purchase protection against a number of risks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, for US$ 119.00 for each application. Additionally, we want to stress that you have the choice to skip this stage depending on your personal situation.

Ethiopian visa processing time from Denmark

Typically, it takes 1-3 business days to secure a visa for Ethiopia from Denmark. Ethiopian authorities will review the application, papers, and fee payment once all required documents and information have been submitted. The user-friendly online visa portal allows applicants to keep track of the status of their applications.

The process can take longer than usual due to any errors or other issues. Therefore, in order to have a pleasant and well-prepared trip, it is advised that you apply well in advance at least 7 days for the visa to be processed.

By email, any correspondence or notices regarding visas will be sent to Danish nationals who apply from their home country via Ethiopian Immigration Services. The applicant's email address will be used to send both the visa confirmation and an electronic copy of the visa.
