For how long is the eVisa to Ethiopia valid?

The eVisa for Ethiopia is valid for 30 days. This means that once you enter Ethiopia, you can stay in the country for a maximum period of 30 days. Below are some important aspects regarding the validity of the eVisa:

Validity and duration of stay

1. Entry date: The validity of the eVisa starts from the date of entry into Ethiopia. For example, if you enter the country on July 1st, your eVisa will be valid until July 31st.
2.  Maximum duration:  The maximum allowed stay with an eVisa is 30 days. It is important not to exceed this period to avoid fines, deportation, and issues with future visa applications.
   
   

Important Considerations

1. Entry and exit: The eVisa for Ethiopia is generally valid for a single entry. This means once you leave the country, the eVisa cannot be reused for re-entry. If you need to return to Ethiopia after your departure, you will need to apply for a new eVisa. 
2. Compliance with duration: Ensure your travel itinerary is planned so that your stay does not exceed the permitted 30 days. Exceeding the authorized time may result in penalties and affect your ability to obtain visas in the future.
3. Extension of Stay: It is not possible to extend the duration of an eVisa. If you need to stay longer in Ethiopia, you must leave the country and apply for a new eVisa.
