Visa & Entry

Ethiopian passport holders need a visa to enter Botswana. Apply at the nearest Botswana embassy or high commission. There is no Botswana mission in Addis Ababa, so the closest options are Nairobi or Pretoria. The tourist visa allows stays up to 90 days and the fee varies but is typically around USD 50.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry and have at least 3 blank pages. Submit a completed application form, two passport photos, proof of accommodation, return flight booking, and proof of sufficient funds. Processing takes 5 to 10 business days.

Yellow fever vaccination proof is required because Ethiopia is in the yellow fever endemic zone. Present your ICVP at immigration. Botswana is strict about this. If you do not have the certificate, you will be vaccinated at the port of entry or denied boarding by your airline.
