Do I need a Covid-19 Insurance?

Previously, individuals without a vaccination or recovery certificate required a negative COVID-19 test result in order to board a flight to Ethiopia. The medical certificate demonstrating a negative test result had to be issued for travel to Ethiopia within 72 hours for PCR testing and 24 hours for RAT tests.

Currently, passengers who were fully vaccinated could enter Ethiopia without taking the COVID-19 test. Foreigners can travel to Ethiopia as long as they have a vaccination certificate with at least 02 doses of vaccine at least 14 days before arrival, they can travel to Ethiopia.
