The Ethiopian Airlines says it is leveraging on the introduction of e-visa system by the Ethiopian government to enhance its operations in Africa.
Tilahun Tadesse, Traffic and Sales Manager of the Airline, disclosed this during a One-Day Seminar organised for Travel Agencies by the airline on recently in Abuja.
The Ethiopian Immigration and Nationality Affairs in collaboration with Ethiopian Airlines, on June 12, announced the commencement of e-visa service for international visitors to Ethiopia.
Tadesse said the e-visa system had been blocked by the government for some strategic reason overtime, making it difficult for many tourists to explore the nation’s tourism.
He said the e-visa could not be used because of nonconformity with debit card, stressing that platform had now been opened to all African countries to apply for Ethiopian visa online and get it on arrival at its airports.
According to him, even though the Ethiopian e-visa is now working with debit card, they are still working to have another solution for payment soon.
“Now, our E-Visa which had been block for many countries because of immigration issues have been resumed, thanks to our Prime Minister.
“This visa can be applied online and get your visa on the spot at our airports and it is for all African countries and this is a big boost for all our travel agencies.
“We have different visas, we have tourist visa, we have student visa and also business visa and all of these can be gotten online.
