Is there a transit visa? Is it required for Ethiopia?

No, there is not a transit visa. If you plan to leave the international transit zone of the airport, you will need to apply for a regular eVisa. Below are some important aspects regarding transit and the eVisa in Ethiopia:

1. International transit zone: If your stopover in Ethiopia does not require you to leave the international transit zone of Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, you will not need a visa. You can stay in the transit area until your next flight.
2. Exiting the transit zone: If you wish to leave the airport to explore the city, rest at a nearby hotel, or for any other reason, you must apply for a regular eVisa before your trip. This will allow you to enter the country and move freely outside the airport.
   
   

Additional Recommendations 

• Check entry requirements: Always verify the entry requirements to Ethiopia before traveling, as they may change. This includes any updates regarding visa requirements or changes in the application process. 
• Transit planning: If your transit in Ethiopia is brief and you do not plan to leave the airport, confirm with your airline that you will not need a visa. However, if there is any possibility that you may need to exit the transit area, it is best to apply for an eVisa in advance to avoid any inconvenience.
