Ethiopia Visa Processing Time
Ethiopia asks travellers to apply at least 3 days before arrival. Government processing usually takes 2–3 days, but governments do not guarantee a decision date, so apply as early as you can — applications are accepted well ahead of travel.
Our Standard, Rush and Emergency options set how quickly we review and file your application; the decision itself remains with the Ethiopia government. Whichever you choose, we tell you the date your visa is guaranteed by — on time or your money back.
