Welcome to the Expat Community Ethiopia!

Selam and a warm welcome to InterNations Ethiopia! Our expat community in Ethiopia is tailored to your particular needs and helps you with moving to and settling in Ethiopia. Relocating overseas to a foreign country is adventurous and also challenging now and then. For the Ethiopia expat a lot of questions come up such as: ʺHow good is the health care system in Ethiopia and do I need special vaccinations?ʺ, ʺIn which district should we live when moving to Mekele?ʺ or ʺHow about the overall safety in Addis Ababa?ʺ And many more questions…

InterNations aims to support you, as an expat, in getting to know the Ethiopia expat community and discovering the Ethiopian way of life in all its facets, from having the traditional doro wat to celebrating Enkutatash.

Embark on Expat Life in Ethiopia

From the largest outdoor market in the world to the stunning beauty of Bale Mountains National Park, Ethiopia has much to offer to expatriates, tourists and travelers from all over the world. However, the growing expat community in Ethiopia is mainly attracted by its economic challenges, e.g. in the agricultural sector, and the urban development in Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. Expat living in Ethiopia surely can face a challenge once in a while, but at the same time it is a wonderful intercultural experience you will never forget.

Join Ethiopia’s tight-knit Expat Community!

In our social network, you can easily get in touch with other expatriates living in Ethiopia in a private and protected environment where trust, confidence and friendly ‘netiquette’ are essentials. You may ask other expat members from Ethiopia’s international community about insider tips, e.g. how to obtain a work permit. Moreover, you’ll also meet your fellow expats in real life at our top-quality InterNations Get-Togethers – the best way for casual socializing in the capital city and other places like Mekele or Dire Dawa for all members of the expat community in Ethiopia.
