Visa & Entry

Italian passport holders need a visa to enter Ethiopia. The eVisa at evisa.gov.et costs $82 for a single-entry 30-day tourist visa or $102 for a 90-day visa. Processing takes 1 to 3 working days. A visa on arrival is available at Addis Ababa Bole Airport (ADD) for the same fees, payable in USD cash or by card. The eVisa is faster since the on-arrival queue can run 30 to 60 minutes during peak hours.

Required documents for the eVisa include a passport valid for at least 6 months with one blank page, a digital passport photo, and proof of accommodation for at least the first few nights. No return ticket is required for the application, but immigration may ask at the airport. Extensions are handled at the Main Department of Immigration in Addis Ababa before expiry, costing about $20 for an additional 30 days.

Direct flights from Rome Fiumicino (FCO) to Addis Ababa on Ethiopian Airlines run about 6 hours. Ethiopian Airlines is a Star Alliance member, so Lufthansa/United miles work. Ethiopia uses the Ethiopian birr (ETB), trading at roughly 57 ETB per $1. ATMs in Addis are widely available but often have low withdrawal limits (ETB 4,000 to ETB 10,000 per transaction). Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from an endemic country. Ethiopia uses its own calendar, 7 to 8 years behind the Gregorian calendar, and the day starts at 6 AM (so "1 o'clock" Ethiopian time is 7 AM).

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
