Israel to Ethiopia visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need a visa for Ethiopia, but it can be obtained entirely online before travel as an eVisa. Apply at the official portal evisa.gov.et — the 30-day single-entry tourist eVisa costs USD 62 and is typically issued within about 3 business days. A holder of an ordinary Israeli passport requires a visa to enter Ethiopia for tourism, and the recommended channel is the Ethiopian eVisa. The eVisa program at evisa.gov.et is open to citizens of all nationalities, including Israel, who must apply and pay online before travelling — there is no visa-free or reliable visa-on-arrival channel for tourists arriving by air at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. The standard tourist eVisa is single-entry, valid for a 30-day stay, and costs USD 62 (the previously offered 90-day option was discontinued in late 2025). Processing usually takes around 3 business days, so travellers should apply at least a week in advance. Applicants need a passport valid for at least 6 months with a blank page, a recent passport-style photo, and proof of onward/return travel. Ethiopia is in East Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply. Always use only the official government portal to avoid inflated third-party fees.
