Common questions about Ethiopia eVisa costs
No, the eVisa application fee is non-refundable regardless of whether your application is approved or rejected. The fee covers the administrative costs of processing and reviewing your application. To minimize the risk of rejection, ensure all your documents meet the requirements and your information is accurate. Review common rejection reasons before applying.
No, there are no hidden charges. The eVisa fee displayed during the application process is the total amount you need to pay. However, be aware that your bank or credit card company may charge additional fees for international transactions or currency conversion, which are separate from the eVisa fee and not controlled by the Ethiopian government.
Yes, the eVisa fee is the same for all applicants regardless of age. Children, including infants, require their own eVisa and must pay the full application fee. Each traveler needs a separate eVisa application and payment, even if traveling as a family.
If you discover a mistake after submitting your application, you cannot edit it. Depending on the type of error, you may need to submit a new application with a new fee. Minor errors might be correctable through the immigration office, but significant errors (like wrong passport number) require a new application. To avoid this, carefully review all information before submission. See our guide on correcting application mistakes.
Yes, if you need to extend your stay beyond your eVisa's validity, there will be an additional extension fee payable at the Main Department for Immigration and Nationality Affairs in Addis Ababa. The extension fee is separate from your original eVisa fee and varies depending on the extension duration. Visit our eVisa extension page for detailed information.
