Ethiopia Airlines, in collaboration with the Ethiopian Immigration and Nationality Affairs Main Department, has finalised preparations of the initial phase to commence an e-visa service for international visitors to Ethiopia.<\/p>\n
\n
The e-visa is processed and issued online on a single web page where applicants apply, pay and secure their entry visa online. Once the online application is approved, applicants will receive an email authorising them to travel to Ethiopia and they will get their passport stamped with the visa upon arrival in Addis Ababa.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Group Chief Executive Oficer (CEO) of Ethiopian Airlines, Mr Tewolde GebreMariam, said:\u00a0 “Ethiopia, the oldest independent civilisation in Africa and one of the oldest in the world, is endowed with historical places, natural beauty, colourful and diverse cultural activities and various endemic wild animals which are of great interest to international tourists.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, we have not made best use of these natural resources to attract a large number of tourists. To this effect, this project is part of a new national initiative to transform the tourism sector in the country.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe full commencement of the online visa application and issuance system will promote tourism, trade and investment in the country. It will save time, energy and cost for travellers to Ethiopia in addition to the simplicity and convenience that it facilitates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With direct flights to and from more than 95 destinations from all corners of the world operated by the most modern airplanes, we will continue to make travel to Ethiopia dependable, easy, convenient and affordable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I will take this opportunity to thank our IT team and our colleagues at the Main Department for Immigration & Nationality Affairs for the commendable collaboration and a job well done,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Director, Main Department for Immigration and Nationality Affairs of Ethiopia, Mr Gebreyohannes Teklu, said \u201c We are glad that we have been working together with Ethiopian Airlines for the effective implementation of e-visa facilities at the Bole International Airport.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, international visitors to Ethiopia from countries provisioned for visa upon arrival will make use of this service. Moreover, we have set up separate counters to process the visas of travellers under electronic travel authorisation.\u201d<\/p>\n
