Visa & Entry

Ethiopian passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Italy. Apply at the Italian embassy in Addis Ababa or through the VFS Global center. The short-stay visa (type C) costs EUR 80 and allows stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Processing takes 15 calendar days. During peak summer months, book your VFS appointment well in advance as slots fill quickly.

Submit a completed application form, two passport photos, travel medical insurance with EUR 30,000 minimum coverage, proof of accommodation (hotel booking or invitation letter with host's Italian residency document), round-trip flight reservation, and 3 months of bank statements. Your passport needs at least 3 months validity past your Schengen departure and 2 blank pages.

Ethiopian Airlines flies direct from Addis Ababa to Rome Fiumicino. The Schengen visa covers all 27 member states, so side trips to neighboring countries are fine within your allowed 90 days. Italy requires a declaration of presence (dichiarazione di presenza) within 8 days of arrival if staying at a private residence. Hotels handle this automatically at check-in.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
