Drone Laws in Ethiopia
Last update on 21.07.2023 | 8 Kommentare
Unfortunately, the current situation in Ethiopia is somewhat unclear to me because my source is no longer available on the internet and I can not find another source that confirms my latest information. These were my latest information:
Before the flight, you need a license from the Ministry of Communications. The permission costs $ 50 for photography and $ 100 for film-making. This permit must be organized locally several weeks in advance.
When entering the country, you must expect that the drone will be confiscated directly and will only be handed over again when leaving the country.

Also, in Ethiopia, because of the volcanic activity and related magnetic field differences, you should be careful to recalibrate the compass before each drone flight.
We have researched the listed drone regulations for Ethiopia to the best of our knowledge. We cannot guarantee the correctness of the information. If you want to be on the safe side, contact the competent aviation authority. Alternatively, you can also ask the embassy in your country for further information about the regulations. Please leave us a comment when you receive news and/or gain experience with your copter in Ethiopia!

Hi, I recently purchased a drone, the dji mavic mini. I am currently in Ethiopia for work with an Italian company. I kindly wanted to know if it was possible to bring it here and if there could be problems at the airport. I would like to use it mainly for personal use, taking photos and videos when I have free time, since it is a hobby of mine. Thank you
I am very interesting for build drowns
