→ Ethiopia visa for Eritrean citizens

For Eritrean citizens planning to visit Ethiopia, visa processing has been significantly streamlined, a welcome development following the recent normalization of relations between the two nations. Obtaining an e-visa is now the standard, granting a maximum stay of 90 days for the single available business visa type. Unthinkable for two decades, direct flights between Asmara and Addis Ababa are once again readily available, dramatically reducing travel time and symbolizing renewed connectivity. When managing finances, visitors should be aware that while the Ethiopian Birr (ETB) is the local currency, credit card acceptance may vary outside major hotels in Addis Ababa.
