US visa help from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

የአሜሪካ ቪዛ ድጋፍ ከአዲስ አበባ፣ ኢትዮጵያ
Updated 30 October 2026 · Light Travel Agent, 6 Kilo, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Most US visas need an interview at the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa. A correct DS-160 form, the right documents and good interview preparation make a real difference.

How a visitor (B1/B2) visa works from Ethiopia

  1. Fill in the online DS-160 form.
  2. Pay the visa application fee – US$185 for a B1/B2 visa.
  3. Book your interview on the official appointment website.
  4. Go to the interview at the U.S. Embassy with your passport, DS-160 confirmation and supporting documents.
  5. If the officer finds you eligible, you may have to post a visa bond before the visa is issued (see below).

Important: visa bond for Ethiopian visitors

Ethiopia has been part of the U.S. visa bond program since 2 April 2026. According to the U.S. Embassy, Ethiopian applicants who are found eligible for a B1/B2 visa must post a bond of up to US$20,000 before the visa is issued. Pay only on the website the consular officer gives you, and only after the officer tells you to. The bond is refunded when the rules are followed – for example, when you leave the US on time. It does not apply to student (F and M) visas.
