Benin publishes visa-waiver agreements on its Ministry of Foreign Affairs website; Ethiopia is not listed among visa-exempt nationalities there, so Ethiopian passport holders should apply for a Benin visa (including via Benin’s official eVisa platform when applicable) before travel.

Entry requirements
- Benin’s MFA page lists reciprocal visa-waiver agreements and a short list of visa-exempt countries without reciprocity; Ethiopia is not listed.
- Benin’s official eVisa platform provides online visa application workflows.
Official pages do not always publish a simple nationality-by-nationality visa-required list. Use the MFA list as the primary exemption reference and verify visa type/entry conditions for your itinerary before travel.
