Visa on arrival

Visa on arrival. Liberian passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Ethiopia, usually at the airport or land border.

Checked against Wikipedia's list of visa requirements for Liberian citizens on 2026-10-04. Entry rules change: confirm with the embassy of Ethiopia or its official government website before you travel.

⚠ U.S. State Department travel advisory for Ethiopia: Level 3: Reconsider Travel (updated 27 August 2026). It is written for U.S. citizens; read the advisory before you book.

What this means for your trip

A visa on arrival is issued at the port of entry. Expect a fee, a passport photo and sometimes proof of onward travel and accommodation.

Not every airport or land border issues it, and some nationalities are sent to secondary checks; confirm the entry point before you travel.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.
