Ethiopia visa for Dutch Antilles citizens in April 2024

Ethiopian electronic visas allow nationals of Dutch Antilles traveling to Ethiopia to apply for and receive a permit from the comfort of their homes.

With the Ethiopian electronic travel authorization, visitors to the country are spared having to go through embassies and consulates, and they can also enter Ethiopia more quickly as they arrive and get through immigration checkpoints faster.

For citizens of the Netherlands Antilles, the prerequisites associated with this online travel permit are outlined below.

1. Types of Ethiopian e-Visa for citizens of the Netherlands Antilles

Ethiopia has installed two types of electronic visas, which differ by the length of their validity. Applicants from Netherlands Antilles can apply for either a 30-day or 90-day visa on Ethiopian Immigration Services.

• 30-day e-visa: This is a single-entry e-visa valid for 30 days from the date of arrival, which allows travelers to stay in Ethiopia for 30 days in total.
• 90-day e-visa: This is also a single-entry visa but it is valid for 90 days from the date of entry, permitting travelers to stay in Ethiopia for 90 days in total.

Both Ethiopian visas begin their validity period on the day a traveler from the Netherlands Antilles enters Ethiopia, not on the date the document was issued.

Ethiopian visas are tourist visas that allow only one entry into the country, however, nationals of Netherlands Antilles are allowed to apply for the visa several times a year.

Dutch Antilles citizens should be aware that overstaying the period of time granted to them by an e-Visa in Ethiopia can lead to a penalty. If visitors to the Netherlands Antilles wish to extend their stay, they should contact a designated immigration office.
