Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit ET?

Yes, Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Ethiopia, but it is easily obtained online. Apply for the Ethiopia Tourist eVisa at the official portal evisa.gov.et before you travel. The 30-day single-entry tourist eVisa costs US$62, and you must enter Ethiopia through Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. Indonesia is not on Ethiopia's short visa-free list (only Kenya and Djibouti enjoy true visa-free entry). Indonesian travelers must hold a visa, and the recommended channel is the Ethiopia electronic visa (eVisa), which is open to citizens of virtually all countries, including Indonesia. The eVisa is applied for and paid online at the official government portal (evisa.gov.et), with a single-entry tourist visa of 30 days (US$62) or 90 days (US$152). Approval is delivered by email and must be printed. A critical condition is that eVisa holders may only enter Ethiopia via Addis Ababa Bole International Airport; arrival by land border or other airports is not permitted on an eVisa. Indonesia also appears on Ethiopia's visa-on-arrival list available at Bole airport, but because VOA queues and policy can be unpredictable, securing the eVisa in advance is the safer, recommended option. The passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry. As of 2026 there is no visa-waiver agreement between Indonesia and Ethiopia for short tourist stays.
