The Ethiopian embassy has suspended visas on arrival for Nigerians with immediate effect.
Passengers must get their visa at the Ethiopian embassy in Abuja before beginning any trip there, according to a release made on Tuesday by the embassy.
The embassy does point out that the ban does not apply to travelers who are staying overnight in Addis Ababa.
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.”
