Do Finland passport holders need a visa to visit ET?

Finnish passport holders need a visa for Ethiopia. The standard, recommended route is the official Ethiopian eTourist eVisa, obtained online before travel at evisa.gov.et. A single-entry eVisa for a 30-day stay costs about USD 82 and is normally approved within around 3 business days. Finland is not on Ethiopia's short list of visa-free nationalities (only Djibouti and Kenya enter visa-free), so a Finnish ordinary passport holder requires a visa for tourism. Ethiopia operates an electronic visa system open to citizens of every country, and the Ethiopian government actively channels all air travelers toward applying online in advance. While a visa on arrival at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport is technically still available to EU nationals (including Finns), the official portal strongly recommends securing the eVisa before departure to avoid airport queues and the risk of being denied boarding. The eTourist eVisa is single-entry. The most common option is a 30-day stay for roughly USD 82, with a 90-day option for around USD 202 (fees shown on the official portal; some third-party resellers quote slightly different totals and add service charges). Applications generally process within about 3 business days, though travelers should apply at least a week ahead. Required items include a passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry with a blank page, a digital passport photo, the passport bio-page scan, proof of onward/return travel, and accommodation details. Land-border entry is not covered by the eVisa and requires a visa from an Ethiopian mission. Ethiopia is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply to this route.
