Ethiopia on June 12, 2017 announced an online visa application process to ease visa processes to travellers to that country, but only one African country out of the 54, is eligible to use the platform with two others exempt, because these two countries have visa exempt agreements with Ethiopia. Out of the 39 countries eligible to apply for visa online, including North Korea, some Western and Latin American countries, the only African country eligible to apply for an e-visa is South Africa. The other two African countries on the list, Kenya and Djibouti, have visa exempt deals with Ethiopia. Currently, Africans require visas to travel to 55 per cent of countries on the continent.
