1. Types of Ethiopian e-Visa for Syrian citizens

With electronic visas, there is no need to physically visit the Ethiopian consulate or embassy to apply for a visa.

Syrians can obtain an Ethiopian tourist visa quickly and easily using the automated system. An Ethiopia e-Visa can be easily applied for and obtained using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

There are two types of Ethiopian e-Visas accessible to Syrian nationals.

  • Tourist Visa - Single Entry for 30 days
  • Tourist Visa - Single Entry for 90 days

Syrian nationals on a single-entry visa can only enter Ethiopia once, regardless of how long they stay. Prior to travel, multiple entry visas must be approved by the Ethiopian Embassy in Syria.

This type of e-visa is granted for tourism-related purposes only. Syrian citizens who want to stay longer than 90 days or visit Ethiopia for purposes other than tourism must apply for a regular visa at the Embassy or Consulate.

An Ethiopian e-visa is valid for either 30 days or 90 days from the arrival date provided on the application form.

The following information is required:

  • Personal information such as full name, address, date of birth, gender, and nationality.
  • Passport information such as the passport number
  • The arrival/departure date

It is critical to double-check all of the details on the Ethiopia e-Visa registration form, as any mistakes or mistakes might result in the delay or denial of your online travel visa to Ethiopia.

Once you receive your e-visa email address, you should download and take a printout of your e-visa to submit at border control when you arrive.
