Is your country on the list of "tourist-generating countries"?
Hey there,
if you get a visa for Ethiopia in Kenya depends on your nationality - if your country is on the ethiopian list of "tourist-generating countries" (around 33 countries) you'll get one - if not: you'll only get it at home!
So here the list (as far as i know):
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea Republic, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.
We got stuck in Nairobi about 6 month ago because we weren't on that list and tried everything. Our own Embassy spoke to the ethiopians, Ambassadors in several other countries did the same - no way. The only way is to switch to another passport or try it in another country (the consulat in Egypt might be less strict, Uganda . . .)
Good luck
