Visa

IMPORTANT VISA INFORMATION!

Pursuant to the directive of the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation, effective August 19, 2013, the Russian Embassy in Ethiopia will require that all the applications for Russian visas submitted in Ethiopia shall be prepared using the Electronic Visa Application Form through a web-based application, available online at https://visa.kdmid.ru. After filling the Electronic Visa Application Form online, applicants shall print out a copy of their application form and submit this printed original form personally, along with other necessary documentation, to the Consular Section of the Russian Embassy in Ethiopia.

The Electronic Visa Application Form will provide greater accuracy and security in processing visa applications. It should be filled out in its entirety. Incomplete forms may significantly delay visa processing time.

Non-Ethiopian nationals who wish to apply for a visa at the Embassy in Addis Ababa need to provide a residence permit allowing them to stay in the country for at least 180 days.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: YOU MAY BE REQUESTED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS IF SO BE CONSIDERED NECESSARY DURING THE PERSONAL INTERVIEW.
