The Ethiopian embassy suspended Nigerian visas upon arrival with immediate effect.
The embassy issued a release today stating that passengers must obtain their visas at the Ethiopian embassy in Abuja before embarking on any trip to the country.
The embassy, however, notes that passengers transiting overnight in Addis Ababa are not affected by the ban.
According to the release, “Passengers having a layover in Addis to travel the next morning to Zanzibar, Seychelles, Lusaka, Lilongwe, Harare, Cape Town, ETC are not affected by the ban and do not need a transit visa for their trips.”
