Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely. As long as you hold a valid UAE residence visa (employment, spouse, investor, or student visa), you are eligible to apply for an Ethiopia visa from Dubai. We process applications for both UAE nationals and expats working here, and you don't need to return to your home country to apply. Simply contact us via WhatsApp or visit our office in Bur Dubai, and we'll guide you through the entire process without requiring you to visit the embassy or visa centre yourself.

You'll need a valid passport with at least six months validity, a completed visa application form, a recent passport-sized photograph (4x6 cm), your UAE residence visa copy, and proof of travel (flight booking or hotel reservation). Depending on your purpose of visit, you may also need an invitation letter, bank statements showing sufficient funds (typically AED 10,000–15,000), or employment letter. We'll provide you with a complete checklist when you contact us, and our team can collect all documents from your home or office in Dubai at no extra charge.

Standard processing typically takes 7–10 working days from the date your documents are submitted to the Ethiopian embassy or visa centre in Dubai. If you need it urgently, we offer expedited processing (3–5 working days) for an additional fee. We'll keep you updated via WhatsApp throughout the process, and once your visa is ready, we offer free pickup and delivery to your location in Dubai, so you don't need to visit the centre yourself.

Our visa service starts at AED 1,000, which includes our professional handling, document verification, and submission to the embassy or visa centre. This does not include the official embassy visa fee (typically AED 400–600 depending on visa type and processing speed), which is paid separately. We also offer complimentary pickup and delivery of your documents and passport within Dubai, saving you time and transport costs. For a detailed breakdown tailored to your visa type, please WhatsApp us your requirements.

Ethiopia does offer visa-on-arrival at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport for many nationalities, including GCC citizens and most expats, which costs around USD 50. However, applying in advance from Dubai is more reliable and faster, as you avoid potential delays, queue times, or complications at the airport. We recommend pre-applying through us (starting at AED 1,000) for peace of mind, especially if you're travelling during peak seasons or have a tight schedule.

Yes, multiple-entry visas are available and are ideal if you plan to leave and re-enter Ethiopia during your trip. You can request a multiple-entry visa during your application, and we'll ensure it's noted on your form. The cost is slightly higher than a single-entry visa, and processing time remains the same (7–10 working days). Let us know your travel plans when you contact us, and we'll advise whether a multiple-entry visa suits your needs.

No, you don't have to visit in person. One of our key services is handling the entire submission process for you—we'll collect your documents from your home or office in Dubai (free of charge), verify everything, and submit directly to the visa centre. You can track your application status via WhatsApp, and we'll notify you once your passport and visa are ready for pickup, which we also deliver free across Dubai.

Rejections are rare but can occur due to incomplete documents, insufficient funds, or unclear travel purpose. If rejected, the embassy will specify the reason, and we'll help you address the issues and reapply at no additional service fee. We'll guide you on what needs to be corrected and resubmit your application promptly. Contact us immediately if you face a rejection, and we'll work to resolve it quickly.

Currently, Ethiopia primarily issues sticker visas that are stamped in your passport; there is no official eVisa system for most nationalities applying from the UAE. However, the application process is digital, and you can apply remotely through us without visiting the centre. We handle all paperwork, and your visa will be affixed to your passport before delivery, making it convenient and hassle-free.

Yes, absolutely—you don't need to be physically present in Dubai to apply. We accept applications from expats and UAE nationals regardless of their current location. You can provide your documents digitally, via courier, or have a representative hand them to us, and we'll manage the entire submission and follow-up process. This is especially useful if you're travelling or working outside Dubai; simply WhatsApp us your details and documents, and we'll take it from there.
