Arrival Services

All arriving passengers on Ethiopian Airlines flights are met by our Customer Relation Officers to guide them through to the Passport Control and Baggage Claim area or through the transit exit for connecting passengers.

Nationals of those countries allowed visas on arrival need to check with the Airport Immigration Office to enter Ethiopia. All others have to come with their entry visas and must pass through the Passport Control Counters.

Passengers traveling to Ethiopia can get their e-visa by applying to https://www.evisa.gov.et/. Passengers with a confirmation email and a 1 page of E-visa issued (sample attached) are permitted to enter Ethiopia. However, Passengers arriving in Ethiopia with incomplete  E-visa documentation or arriving with proof of payment only will not be allowed to enter to Ethiopia.
