What I should I know about Ethiopia

Expatriates who intend to visit or move to Ethiopia need a visa to enter except the citizens of Kenya and Djibouti who exempted from this procedure. Obtaining a visa from an Ethiopian Embassy or a Consulate before travel will be a necessity. A tourist visa may be valid for three months only and can be issued on arrival for the travelers for mostly all countries except Eritrea. In relation to business visas, a letter should be handed to the Ethiopian Embassy to explain the move. Residing in Ethiopia for more than 90 days means that you will need to apply for a residence card and a work permit from both the Ministry of Immigration and the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs within 30 days. Noting that it strictly prohibited to work in the country without an authorization.

Interesting facts about Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, time is counted differently. Six o’clock is said to be 12 o’clock, and 16:00 hours is 10 o’clock. Ethiopians rationalize that the clock should start when the day does.
