Hi,
Can anybody please let me know the current cost of a visa into Ethiopia for South Africans. And can visas be obtained at the Kenya border. I will be cycling this way pretty soon.
Thanks


I don't know the current price but you need to have it in advance. It's not possible to have one at any border post.

Hi mrs_trellis and mvbergen,
Thank you both for your replies. Have you any information regarding Sudan and Egypt - i.i. Getting visas at the borders?

Impossible to have a Sudanese one at the border. You need to ask your visa in advance.
I don't know for Egypt. I think that depending your nationality you can have one on the ferry (when you leave Wadi Halfa to Egypt) or at least on arrival. I had read some reports in the past.

You should be able to get your Sudan visa in Addis Ababa.
Egypt is in the process of changing its visa regulations (i.e. termination of Visa on Arrival for air passengers) so it's anybody's guess what the situation is on the ground. Again you may be able to get in Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia tourist visa one month NOW $50. You MAY be able to get it in Nairobi., certainly NOT at Border.
Ask at Pretoria Ethiopian Embassy.Normally possible to get Sudan Visa at their Consulate in Addis - just south of Mexico Square.
