Ukraine to Ethiopia
Can children travel on this route?
Travellers under 18 must carry a notarised letter of parental consent for travel to Ethiopia.
What should I do before I travel?
Apply for the electronic visa (e-visa) online in advance. The Ethiopian embassy or consulate in Ukraine can also accept applications, so you can apply without leaving Ukraine. The e-visa’s exact validity varies by case; do not assume a fixed period without checking the visa grant.
Check your passport (or temporary passport) to ensure it will be valid for at least 6 months after your planned entry date. Arrange onward or return travel and hotel bookings, since you may be asked to show proof of a return flight and a hotel booking at the border.
Purchase travel insurance if you want cover for medical or other risks; travel insurance is recommended but not a condition of entry.
What happens at the border?
At arrival you should present your passport (or temporary passport) and the e-visa if already issued. Immigration officers may ask to see evidence of sufficient funds for your stay, a return flight, and a hotel booking. There is no arrival registration or entry card required according to the verified facts.
