Do Vietnamese citizens need a visa to go to Ethiopia?

Yes. Because Vietnam is not exempted from the Ethiopia visa, Vietnam citizens must obtain a valid visa to enter Ethiopia legally. Fortunately, Vietnam travelers now can use an electronic visa to visit Kenya for such purposes as tourism only. Ethiopian Immigration Services brings the best digital platform for Vietnamese travelers to apply for an e-visa. With just under 20 minutes, they can request for themselves an Ethiopian e-visa to enter the country. Below are the 2 categories of e-visa that visitors can apply:

• 30-day e-visa: This tourist e-visa is valid for 30 days from the date of arrival.
• 90-day e-visa: Ethiopian tourist e-visa for 90 days is valid for 90 days from the date that you enter the country.

The eVisa has been approved by the Directorate of Immigration Services to simplify the process of obtaining a visa to Ethiopia. Vietnam visitors can get the Ethiopian e-visa online on Ethiopian Immigration Services website without applying for a traditional visa at the Embassy or Consulate. This saves a lot of time for Vietnamese nationals to wait for the interview to get a visa. However, if Vietnam citizens want to go to Ethiopia for other purposes such as study, business, etc. they must apply for a regular visa at the Embassy.
