Understanding how long it takes to receive your electronic visa
Apply for Ethiopia eVisa NowHow long does it take to get your Ethiopia eVisa?
The standard processing time for an Ethiopia eVisa is 3 business days. This timeframe begins from the moment you submit your completed application and payment, not from when you start filling out the form.
During these 3 business days, Ethiopian immigration authorities review your application, verify your documents, and conduct necessary background checks. Once approved, your eVisa is sent electronically to the email address you provided during the application process.
What happens during the 3-day processing period
The 3-day processing time refers to business days, not calendar days. This means:
Plan accordingly if you're applying close to weekends or holidays.
We recommend applying for your Ethiopia eVisa at least 7-10 days before your intended travel date. This provides:
Check visa fees and required documents before applying.
Currently, Ethiopia does not offer expedited or rush processing for eVisa applications. All applications are processed in the standard 3 business days timeframe. This is why it's important to apply well in advance of your travel date.
While the standard processing time is 3 business days, some applications may take longer if additional verification is needed, if there are errors in the application, or during peak travel seasons. This is why we recommend applying 7-10 days before travel. Track your application using the status checker.
