State of emergency in Ethiopia

On November 2, 2021, a six-month state of emergency was declared in Ethiopia, while armed conflict continues in the northern provinces of the country. The security situation is considered fragile and the conflict may spread to other regions.

Hence, Greek citizens wishing to travel to Ethiopia are advised to postpone their trip for the time being. Greeks living in Ethiopia are encouraged to be vigilant and to follow developments in the country, to have adequate food, water and fuel, to limit their travel outside the cities which they live in (including Addis Ababa) and to be in contact with the Embassy of Greece in Addis Ababa.

Addis Ababa International Airport operates normally and regular flights to Athens are also being operated normally for those wishing to return to Greece.
