Travel insurance for Ethiopia

Travel insurance

Not required. No official source we have checked requires travel insurance to visit Ethiopia, and none publishes a minimum coverage amount for visitors.

Some visa services claim insurance is mandatory for Ethiopia and charge you for a policy. We found no official rule behind those claims, so we will not present it as one. Insurance may still be a sensible choice for your trip, but for Ethiopia it is your choice, not an entry rule. We watch for new mandates daily, and this page will say so if one appears.

Countries that do require it: the full travel insurance requirements list.
