Flight itinerary for your Ethiopia eVisa — sorted in 15 minutes.
Addis Ababa is Africa's aviation hub — more routes connect through Bole International Airport than any other African city. Whether you are visiting Ethiopia or transiting to East Africa, the eVisa portal at evisa.ethiopia.gov.et requires proof of onward travel. Get your itinerary from Flightinary before you apply.
What you need to know
What is a flight itinerary — and why does Ethiopia's eVisa portal require one?
Ethiopia's eVisa system asks for an onward or return flight itinerary as part of the online application on evisa.ethiopia.gov.et. This puts you in a familiar bind: the visa comes before the confirmed flights, but the visa application needs the flights. Buying real tickets before approval is a financial gamble — particularly when you are using Addis Ababa as a hub for onward travel across East Africa. Flightinary generates itineraries directly from live GDS aviation data, giving you a credible, correctly formatted travel document within 15 minutes, at a fraction of the cost of a real ticket.
What a flight itinerary is
A complete, formatted travel document showing your inbound route into Ethiopia and your onward or return route out — including real airline names, genuine IATA flight numbers, airport codes, and travel dates. Generated from live aviation data, not fabricated. It is the document the Ethiopian eVisa portal requires under "proof of travel arrangements".
Why not just buy a real ticket?
Ethiopian Airlines offers competitive fares — but booking non-refundable tickets before your eVisa is confirmed is unnecessary risk. Visa processing takes 3–5 business days. If your application is delayed or requires additional documents, your travel dates may shift. An itinerary from Flightinary carries no financial exposure — order it, submit the application, book real tickets once you are approved.
Does Flightinary's itinerary work for Ethiopian eVisa submissions?
Yes. The Ethiopia eVisa portal accepts a flight itinerary as proof of travel arrangements. Flightinary's itineraries are built from real-time GDS data — genuine flight numbers, correct IATA codes, proper airline names — and formatted for digital upload. The document looks and reads exactly like what an Ethiopian immigration officer expects to see.

Full document checklist
Everything you need for an Ethiopia eVisa application

How your nationality affects your Ethiopia eVisa application
Ethiopia's eVisa is available to most nationalities online. Citizens of some countries may be required to apply at an Ethiopian embassy rather than using the online portal — check the current eligibility list at evisa.ethiopia.gov.et before starting your application. For eligible nationalities, refusal rates are very low.
| Passport | Refusal rate | Interview req. | Min. bank balance | Avg. processing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇮🇳India | ~2% | None | ETB 15,000+ | 3–5 business days |
| 🇬🇧UK | ~1% | None | ETB 10,000+ | 3–5 business days |
| 🇺🇸USA | ~1% | None | ETB 10,000+ | 3–5 business days |
| 🇨🇳China | ~2% | None | ETB 12,000+ | 3–5 business days |
| 🇳🇬Nigeria | ~3% | None | ETB 15,000+ | 3–5 business days |
| 🇿🇦South Africa | ~1% | None | ETB 10,000+ | 3–5 business days |
| 🇩🇪Germany | ~1% | None | ETB 8,000+ | 3–5 business days |

🟢 Low refusal rate (under 3%) — Ethiopia eVisa has high approval rates
If your nationality faces additional scrutiny on the Ethiopia eVisa, ensure every uploaded document is clear and complete. The most common cause of delays or rejections is an incomplete flight itinerary or unclear passport scan — not the application itself. Resubmit with a full document pack including a Flightinary itinerary with real flight numbers and correct IATA codes.
🟡 Slightly higher scrutiny — Nigeria (~3%), India (~2%)
Supplement your eVisa application with strong financial documentation — bank statements showing a consistent balance over the past 3 months, and an employment letter confirming your approved leave. Make sure your flight itinerary shows both inbound and outbound legs. Inconsistencies between your itinerary dates and hotel booking dates are a common trigger for follow-up queries.

How long can you stay in Ethiopia?
The Ethiopia eVisa comes in three stay-length options: 30 days (single entry, $52), 90 days (single entry, $72), and 90 days (multiple entry, $112). For most tourists — visiting Addis Ababa, Lalibela, Axum, Gondar, or the Omo Valley — the 30-day single entry is sufficient. Travellers using Ethiopia as a regional hub or planning extended stays should choose the 90-day option. Extensions are handled at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Addis Ababa.
Days — standard stay
The 30-day single-entry eVisa ($52) covers most tourism itineraries — Addis, Lalibela, Axum, Gondar, and surrounding regions.
Days — extended stay
The 90-day single ($72) or multiple-entry ($112) eVisa suits long-stay visitors and those using Addis as a regional hub.
Interview days required
No interview required for eVisa applicants. Some nationalities applying at the embassy may face an interview — check your country's requirements.
