Can I Get an Ethiopian e-Visa for Multiple Entries?

No, currently, the Ethiopian e-Visa system does not offer a multiple-entry e-Visa option for tourists or other standard travelers. The e-Visa, managed by the Main Department for Immigration and Nationality Affairs, is available only as a single-entry visa for eligible purposes, such as tourism, business, or conferences.

Multiple-Entry Visa Options

If you require several entries, you have to apply for a traditional visa in an Ethiopian embassy or consulate.

Types of multiple-entry visas

• Business Visa (often issued for 3–12 months, multiple entries)
• Investor/Work Visa (for long-term stays)
• Diplomatic/Official Visa

Alternatives for Frequent Travelers

If you initially enter with an eVisa but later need multiple entries, you can:

• Exit and apply for a new eVisa or embassy visa before returning.
• If you need to enter Ethiopia multiple times,  contact the nearest Ethiopian Embassy to inquire about a multiple-entry visa tailored to your purpose (e.g., business or family visits). Be prepared to provide detailed justification and supporting documents.

In Summary

Multiple-entry visas are not available through Ethiopia's e-visa system. For travelers requiring multiple entries, applying for a multiple-entry visa through an Ethiopian Embassy is the best option.
Always verify the latest policies on the official e-Visa website or with an Ethiopian Embassy, as visa regulations can change.
