Ethiopia Now To Give All Africans Visas On Arrival

Ethiopia is to issue visa on arrival to all Africans starting
Nov. 9, according to Fitsum Arega, chief of staff of the Ethiopian
Prime Minister.

In a press statement, Arega said the visa-on-arrival policy for
fellow African visitors is in line with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s
vision of a closer and full integration in the continent.

“Consistent with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s vision of a closer
and full regional integration in Africa, where minds are open to
ideas and markets are open to trade, Ethiopia will start on arrival
visa to all Africans starting from Nov. 9, 2018,” Arega said.

Ethiopia hopes the visa-on-arrival initiative would facilitate
the economic integration of Africa by pushing tourist flow to a
higher level and help advance conference tourism.

The east African country, which hosts the headquarters of the
continental body, the African Union (AU), also hopes that the move
will assist the AU’s initiative on the free movement of people. The
AU urged all African countries to issue visa on arrival as of
2023.
