Do Pakistan citizens need a visa for Ethiopia?

Based on GoMate's data verified against official and consular sources, the short-stay rule for an ordinary Pakistan passport entering Ethiopia is "eVisa required", for stays of up to 30/90 days (eVisa). This covers short visits for tourism, business, or transit. Entry requirements can change, so always confirm with the Ethiopia embassy before traveling.

Under current regulations, Pakistan passport holders may stay in Ethiopia for up to 30/90 days (eVisa) per entry on a short-stay basis (tourism, business, or transit). Overstaying can result in fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so plan to leave within the permitted period.

Pakistan passport holders must apply for an eVisa online before traveling to Ethiopia. Complete the application, upload the required documents, pay the fee, and wait for approval before departure. Be ready to provide: eVisa at evisa.gov.et — applies to all countries.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months. Additional requirements: eVisa at evisa.gov.et — applies to all countries. Carry proof of onward travel and sufficient funds, as these may be checked at the border.

No. Short-stay entry to Ethiopia is intended for tourism, business meetings, and transit — it does not permit paid employment. To work in Ethiopia, Pakistan citizens need a separate work visa or permit arranged in advance.

The 30/90 days (eVisa) short-stay limit is generally firm. Extensions are sometimes possible by applying to the Ethiopia immigration authorities before your permitted stay ends. Overstaying can lead to fines, deportation, and may affect future visa applications, so do not rely on it.
