Ethiopia has closed its land borders, but airports remain open.

Travelers must have a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result issued at most 120 hours before arrival starting from the time sample is given. Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (and other international ports of arrival) have put in place additional measures to screen passengers arriving, departing or transiting through Ethiopia. Screening may include temperature measurements, completing a health screening questionnaire and answering questions from health officials. This will include checks on recent travel to affected areas and accommodation details for self-isolation. Travelers will also be tested again prior to leaving the airport.

Travelers with a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result are subject to a mandatory 7-day self-isolation at their home and also required to give sample upon arrival. Travelers who tests positive for the virus but displays only mild symptoms will be required to remain in self-isolation for a further 14 days (where possible). They may be tested again prior to the end of self-isolation. If they cannot self-isolate they will need to stay at a government designated isolation center until they have recovered and tested negative with follow up tests. Those with more serious symptoms may be taken to a government designated isolation facility or hospital for treatment. Travelers without a medical certificate with a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result are subject to a mandatory 14-day self-isolation. The first 7 days will be at a government-designated facility at their own expense and the remaining 7 days at home.

Travelers with an onward ticket to another destination may transit in Ethiopian airports, as long as the transit time is under 72 hours. Travelers transiting for 8 hours or less can remain in the departure lounge of the airport. For transits over 8 hours, you will be taken to a designated transit hotel for the duration of your stay. Transit travelers are subject to medical screening.
