Visa & Entry

Ethiopian passport holders need a visa to enter the UAE. The most common route is a visa on arrival for 30 days, which the UAE granted to Ethiopian nationals starting in 2019 for holders of valid US, UK, or Schengen visas or residence permits. Without one of these, you need a pre-arranged visa sponsored by a UAE-based entity (hotel, airline, employer, or tour company).

For the sponsored visa, Emirates and Etihad offer transit and tourist visa services for ticket holders. The airline-sponsored 30-day tourist visa costs around AED 350 (about USD 95). Processing takes 3 to 5 business days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Provide a passport copy, photo, confirmed flight booking, and hotel reservation.

Overstaying any UAE visa results in fines of AED 200 per day after a 10-day grace period. The UAE is strict about enforcement and will detain overstayers at the airport. Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports have separate immigration procedures, but the visa is valid for entry at any UAE port. Ethiopian Airlines flies Addis Ababa to Dubai multiple times daily, making it the most common routing.
