What Türkiye asks of Ethiopian travellers

Visa required: Ethiopian citizens apply for a sticker visa at the Turkish Embassy in Addis Ababa or another Turkish mission. There is no e-Visa for Ethiopian passports.
Insurance in the file: travel health insurance covering every day of the planned stay is part of the visa documents.
Health insurance: under Law No. 6458, a visa is not issued to a foreigner without valid health insurance covering the stay, and such a traveller can be refused entry at the border. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that all visa applicants must have medical insurance valid during their stay in Türkiye.
