Brazil to Ethiopia visa requirements

Brazilian ordinary passport holders need a visa to enter Ethiopia. The fastest and recommended route is the official Ethiopia eVisa, applied for online before travel. A single-entry tourist eVisa allows a stay of up to 30 days and costs USD 62 in government fees. Ethiopia is not visa-free for Brazilian citizens and offers no visa-waiver or visa-free arrangement with Brazil. Brazilian ordinary passport holders must obtain a visa before traveling, and the official, recommended channel is the Ethiopia eVisa portal (evisa.gov.et). The eVisa is open to all nationalities. The most common tourist option is the 30-day single-entry tourist visa (visa type VT) at a government fee of USD 62; a 90-day single-entry option costs USD 152. Applications are typically processed within about 3 business days, but the immigration authority advises applying at least 10 business days before departure. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended date of arrival, with at least one blank page. A visa on arrival is also technically available at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, but the eVisa obtained in advance is strongly recommended to avoid airport delays and the risk of being refused boarding. Pure airside transit through Bole within 8 hours without leaving the transit area does not require a visa. Always pay on the official evisa.gov.et site, as many third-party agents add large service markups.
