The Ethiopia Business Visa is issued for international business-related purposes and can be further subdivided into: General Visa (GST), issued to most foreign visitors, that are planning to travel to Ethiopia; Intermediate Visa (ISV), issued to tourists, businessmen and visiting family members; Extended Visa (EUS), issued to long term permanent residents of Ethiopia. It is important to note that each of the 3 different types of visas have quite different requirements. For instance, a tourist or visitor with an exchange visitor card (EGL) or a green card holder is eligible for a EGBL, but an entrepreneur with a private investor visa (PIR) or an International Investment Visa (IIA) isn't. The eligibility requirements for the several types of visas vary from one country to another, in addition to from time to time. For instance, the processing time for a visa accepted through the Expat Forum is much quicker than the processing time of a program approved by the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

For those planning to go to Ethiopia for the purpose of establishing an international company, an entrepreneur should first make an application for an Ethiopia Business Visa. To be qualified for this business visa, the applicant should have an authorized permanent dwelling in Ethiopia. Upon successful application, the applicant will receive a notice regarding their status, which will signal whether the entrepreneur is eligible for an immigrant visa or for a E-visa.

After getting approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the applicant may proceed to have a step to obtaining an immigrant visa or a E-visa in the Ethiopian embassy. If the applicant's status is accepted, he or she'll receive an immigrant visa. In most cases, the visa will be valid for a 1 year period. Furthermore, if at any stage during this period an individual has applied for an immigrant visa or an E-visa and her or his status remains rejected, they may ask for a reexamination of his or her standing. In the event the person's status is later approved, he or she'll then be able to continue to enjoy benefits of this multiple-entry Ethiopia visa.
