All delegates are strongly advised to process their visa application for entry and stay in Ethiopia at the Ethiopian Embassy in their respective country or the nearest Ethiopian mission or consulate prior to their departure. To this end, a note with the list of Ethiopian embassies and consulates abroad indicating the cities and countries will be sent shortly. Only in exceptional cases and when it has not been possible to obtain a visa beforehand, will visas be issued upon arrival in Ethiopia (Addis Ababa). In such cases, a copy of a valid passport and a formal letter from the respective institutions requesting a visa on arrival should be sent to the Secretariat of the 120th IPU Assembly Organizing Committee in Addis Ababa by e-mail to: info120thipu@ethionet.et or by fax to: +251 11 124 11 01 prior to arrival.
