Ethiopia パスポート

The Ethiopia passport currently offers travelers a mobility score with access to 43 destinations worldwide through visa-free or visa-on-arrival arrangements. According to the latest 2026 passport ranking data, Ethiopia holds the 88th position globally, reflecting a notable improvement from its 2006 rank of 78 when it only had a visa-free count of 18. Despite this growth in travel mobility, Ethiopian citizens do not currently have visa-free access to the Schengen Area, meaning a prior visa is required for travel to most European nations. For those holding an Ethiopian passport, travel mobility is largely concentrated within Africa and parts of Asia and the Caribbean. Visa-free entry is available to countries such as Kenya, Singapore, and the Philippines, while visa-on-arrival options include destinations like Bangladesh, Madagascar, and Tanzania. Additionally, many countries, including Türkiye, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates, offer electronic visa (e-visa) facilities to Ethiopian nationals. With an openness score of 28 and a global score of 8, the passport continues to evolve in its international standing, providing access to a total of 43 destinations without the need for a traditional prior embassy visa.
