Last week I called the embassy in Washington D.C. and was told that the VOA is being canceled. Right now I am in the process of procuring a 2 year multiple entry visa which is available for US citizens obtaining their visa in the US. Citizens of other countries with resident/work permits may obtain a 3 month multiple entry visa from the embassy. |

My parents have already left for India and will be transiting ADD on the return. |
Tried the DC embassy and the pre-recorded message says VOA is available.

Visa on Arrival
Well, I was in Ethiopia last week (23-25 April) and visa on arrival was working as usual. No idea what triggered those rumours, but at least for now that is all they are..
|
Does anyone have an update on this? I have a trip coming up with a long layover (15 hours) in ADD and would like to leave the airport if possible.
|
It's fine. Still available for those for whom it was always available.

As soon as I landed, I proceeded to the ET counter. They simply scanned my boarding pass and then gave me a hotel voucher and a small laminated card that said something like "transit visa". When I got to passport control, I simply handed over my passport and the card to the officer. He took the card, stamped my passport with an entry stamp and handed it back to me. |
Didn't you have to fill out an arrivals card as well?
