What the document holds

Addis Fortune article (26 Apr 2026) on Ethiopia's new Golden Visa and property-linked residence: the USD 150,000 property route and five-year residential ID (revoked if the property is sold), the USD 5 million Golden Visa with a USD 10,000 fee for 10 years and renewal fees, the revised ICS fee regulation (21 fee areas; investment visa fees by duration; five-year permanent residence permit USD 3,000; expedited processing USD 4,000-4,500), ICS revenue (31.2 billion Br in three quarters), passports issued, border enforcement and FDI figures. Earlier pass: 5 rules and 1 event. This pass added 7 rules: Golden Visa renewal fees (USD 10,000 after 10 years; USD 12,500 immediate) and the five investment-visa fees by duration (USD 60 to 4,000) as context rows, since the article does not say what qualifies for that visa. Out of scope and not recorded: the permanent residence permit fee and expedited-processing fees (general immigration services, not tied to the investor routes), ICS revenue and passport counts (general immigration agency figures), border enforcement and FDI figures.

About the document

What it covers Press briefing by the Director General of the Immigration and Citizenship Service: property-based residential IDs and visas (property purchase, at least USD 150,000 reported), Golden Visa for USD 5 million investors (fee USD 10,000, 10 years), fee schedule of the revised Immigration & Citizenship Service Fee Regulation; ICS revenue for the first three quarters of the fiscal year.

Notes The page carries no date; it reports ICS figures for 'the first three quarters of the fiscal year', which suggests spring 2026 (the Ethiopian fiscal year starts in July). Regulation number not given. Note the source_id has a year suffix (2026) inferred from that context.
