Ethiopia eVisas

The Ethiopia Sports Competition and Training Visa is intended for eligible foreign athletes, coaches, trainers, and other sports professionals travelling to Ethiopia for approved competitions, training programmes, or sporting activities. This visa is different from a normal tourist visa because the main purpose of the trip is participation in sport-related activities. Applicants may need a valid passport, recent photograph, and supporting documents from the sports organisation, club, event organiser, or training centre in Ethiopia. The supporting letter should clearly explain the purpose and dates of the visit. Before applying, check that your planned activities are permitted under the visa conditions. Applying early is helpful when you have fixed competition or training dates. Keep your invitation, visa approval, and passport available throughout your trip.
