Ethiopia visa for Norwegian citizens in April 2024

Visit the article below of Ethiopia Immigration Service to find out Ethiopia visa requirements for Norwegian citizens.

1. Ethiopia e-Visa for Norwegian Citizens

Norwegian citizens can apply for an Ethiopian e-Visa or a standard visa online. However, applying for an Ethiopia visa online is significantly faster. Travelers should be advised that obtaining a traditional visa requires them to wait at the Ethiopian Embassy in Norway or overseas.. To prevent being refused, travelers must bring the relevant documentation with them. Travelers can avoid these waits by filling out the application form online using the e-Visa system.

Passengers who use an e-Visa must enter Ethiopia through Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. At the moment, utilizing the e-visa to enter through other ports is not possible.

What documents are required for an Ethiopian visa for Norwegian citizens?

The following documents are required for Norwegians to obtain an Ethiopian visa:

• A passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entrance into Ethiopia.
• The passport should have a minimum of 01 blank page for the verification stamp by the Immigration Officer.
• A recent passport photograph.

Before submitting the application, applicants should ensure that all of the information submitted is correct and true in order to prevent delays in obtaining the visa or problems upon arriving in Ethiopia.

How to fill the application form?

The following information will be required of applicants:

Personal details:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Country of citizenship
• Gender

Passport information

• Passport number

Travel Details

• Date of arrival
• Date of departure

Dual nationalities must utilize a single passport on the application form and exhibit that passport upon arrival in Ethiopia. The information on the travel document and the information on the e-Visa application should be identical.

Upon arriving at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, the following papers will be required:

• A printout of their Ethiopia e-Visa
• A passport photocopy.
• A passport (valid for at least 06 months from the date of arrival).

As previously stated, the tourist visa is only valid for one entrance. This implies that visitors who wish to return to the nation before their visa expires must apply for a new one.

*Note: Staying in the country after the visa or extension period has ended may result in penalties and legal ramifications.

2. Apply for an Ethiopia e-Visa for Norwegian citizens

Ethiopia visa applications can be done entirely online at least 03 business days before departure. This straightforward procedure enables Norwegian people to obtain a visa before traveling to Ethiopia.

Norwegian citizens should check all criteria in advance, prepare all of the above-mentioned papers, and present their information.

If their application is approved, travelers will get their e-Visa through email to the address specified on the application form within a maximum of 03 business days.

Please keep in mind that the visa is only valid from the date of entry into Ethiopia selected on the application form, not from the date of issue.

How long does it take to get an Ethiopian visa from Norway?

The application processing time for an e-Visa is straightforward and quick, with visas being processed within 01 to 03 business days of submission online. Nonetheless, most visas are accepted within 72 hours if all information submitted is correct.

Following the accurate entry of personal and passport information in the application form, the applicants need to provide some additional documents to meet the requirements for an Ethiopia e visa for Norwegian citizens. Finally, Norwegian customers will be asked to make an online payment using a credit or debit card.

3. Ethiopia e-Visa fee for Norwegian citizens

You must pay two (2) Ethiopia e-Visa fees to apply for an Ethiopia e-Visa online: the Service Fee and the Government Fee.
