Embassy of Belgium in Addis Ababa

Travel Update - 7/11/2021

All travel to Ethiopia is currently strictly discouraged, including travel to the capital Addis Ababa due to the unpredictable security situation.  Military confrontations are taking place in several places in Ethiopia, but currently not in Addis Ababa. This situation can change rapidly.

Try to avoid transits through Addis Ababa airport and modify your travel itinerary.

If you are currently in Ethiopia, it is advised to leave the country while commercial flights are still available. Over the next few days, it may become increasingly difficult to leave Ethiopia.

We advise all Belgians travelling to Ethiopia to register on Travellers online
