What Ethiopian travellers should expect
Ethiopian citizens generally need to arrange their entry to Egypt before travelling; a prior approval from the Egyptian authorities is usually part of this. Airlines check the documents at departure, so travelling without them is not an option.
What exactly is required can depend on the purpose of your trip and on residence permits you hold in other countries. We look at your case and tell you the steps and the cost.
Typical situations we handle
- Business visitors and traders coming to Cairo
- Ethiopians living in the Gulf who want to visit Egypt
- Visits to family members who study or work in Egypt
- Transit passengers who want to leave the airport and stay a few days
