Leo, let's discuss visa, immigration, and official procedures in Ethiopia and Kenya. Ready to compare?
Ready. Though "compare" implies a contest, and this feels more like navigating a minefield.
True. For tourists visiting Ethiopia, an e-visa is the easiest route. It's relatively straightforward.
Kenya also offers an e-visa, simplifying the airport process.
Precisely. Both are convenient online applications. However, longer stays—say, relocation—are different.
Indeed. What's the long-term picture in Ethiopia? Work permits? Residency?
Work permits typically require a sponsor, usually an employing company. The process, however, can be quite complex.
Sounds challenging. What about Kenya? Is settling there simpler?
Kenya's process is more streamlined, though a sponsor is still needed for work permits. It's generally more transparent.
More transparent, but still bureaucratic. What about general official procedures—business registration, property purchase?
In Ethiopia, these can be extremely challenging. Land ownership laws are especially complex, and processes are slow.
Ethiopia sounds... intense. Is Kenya much better?
Kenya has its hurdles, but efforts toward efficiency are noticeable, particularly in Nairobi.
So, the "least headache-inducing" award goes to…?
Kenya, slightly. Ethiopia has its charm, but more red tape.
Red tape, the international language of bureaucracy. If you're moving to either country, prepare for paperwork and patience.
And remember to research thoroughly. We'll link helpful resources in the description.
