We recommend that you submit your application to the Embassy only once all of the required documentation is complete.

Please submit scanned copies of the required documentation together with a signed covering letter requesting the Embassy’s recommendation for the Organisation to register as a foreign civil society organisation in Ethiopia by email to info@ethioembassy.org.uk.

Your documentation will be reviewed, and if, at this stage, additional supporting documentation is required, you will be notified.

If the Embassy confirms that your application fulfils these requirements, you will be invited for a face-to-face interview to discuss the application in further detail.

Following the face-to-face interview your application will be reviewed by our team for up to 21 days.

Once the review is complete, subject to approval, a letter of recommendation will be transmitted directly to the Agency for Civil Societies Organisations in Ethiopia.

The Organisation’s Legal Representative in Ethiopia can then follow-up directly with the Agency in order to finalise registration.
