Ethiopia Stops Issuance Of Visas On Arrival To Nigerians

The Ethiopian government has announced that it will stop the issuance of visas on arrival for Nigerians immediately.

This was disclosed on Tuesday via a memo sent to travel partners by the East African nation, where it stated that travellers need to obtain their visas from the embassy before entry into the country.

It partly read, “Please, be informed that effective immediately, no more visas on arrival for Nigerian citizens”.

It added that “Passengers having a layover in Addis to travel the next morning to Zanzibar, Seychelles, Lusaka, Lilongwe, Harare, Cape Town, etc., are not affected by the ban and do not need a transit visa for their trips.”

Also, it mandated that Nigerians and 42 other nations coming to the country must show proof of yellow fever vaccination cards at its borders.

Reasons for the adoption of this policy remain unknown.
