Ethiopia visa checklist
This page turns the raw Ethiopia visa photo catalog into one checklist so the photo step, supporting documents, and proof-of-purpose items stay connected.
2 photo pages in IDfot, including 35×45 mm and 3×4 cm. Final evidence can still change with nationality, place of filing, and whichever authority or portal is currently handling the case.

What can vary
These are the main differences already visible in the current source data behind the linked photo pages.
- The current catalog includes more than one photo size for this flow, including 35×45 mm and 3×4 cm. Use the photo page that matches the portal, visa center, or submission path you actually use.
- Some entries in the source data are explicitly online or e-visa variants, so file size, pixel dimensions, and upload formatting can matter just as much as printed composition.
- The catalog also contains more specific labels such as e-visa. Keep one main checklist page, but expect the supporting documents to expand when the application path is more specific than a standard tourist visa.
- Nationality, country of submission, visa-center practice, and current authority updates can still change the final list. Treat this checklist as a starting point, not as a guarantee.

Open photo pageCommon preparation mistakes
- Treating a preparation checklist as if it replaces the current embassy, consulate, or visa center instructions.
- Collecting general travel evidence but leaving visa-specific category or submission-country documents until the last minute.
- Using a near-match photo page because the size looks close, even though the actual portal or provider path is different.
- Ignoring file-format, scan, or upload limits after the paperwork already looks complete.
- Assuming one old translation, bank statement, or booking still matches the timeline on a new application.
- Skipping a comparison step when IDfot already shows multiple related photo variants for this flow, including 35×45 mm and 3×4 cm.

What should I follow if this checklist and the authority page conflict?
The embassy, consulate, visa center, or official portal should override this page whenever it is more current or more specific.
Why does IDfot show multiple Ethiopia visa photo pages?
Because the source catalog already contains different sizes, upload variants, portal paths, or submission contexts. The checklist stays shared, but the photo page still has to match the submission path.
If my submission is online, does this checklist replace the portal instructions?
No. Portal limits, accepted file bundles, and naming conventions can change faster than a general checklist. The authority page still wins whenever it is more specific.
