On June 1, Ethiopia began issuing tourist visas online, applying to visitors from all over the world. Fitsum Arega, chief of staff to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said, “A relaxed visa regime will enhance both Ethiopia’s openness and will allow the country to harness the significant stopover transit traffic of Ethiopian Airlines.” The e-visa for Ethiopia opened to 37 countries in June 2017, but as of this year, has expanded to include visitors from all over the world. Tourists can apply for 30 or 90 day visas online, and talk is now underway to allow visitors from other African nations to visit Ethiopia with no visa at all.
