The local currency is the Ethiopian Birr, made up of 100 cents. Visitors may import an unlimited amount of foreign currency, providing declaration of such currency (on the appropriate blue-colored form ) is made to customs on arrival. Foreign currency may only be changed at authorized banks hotels. The currency declaration form must be retained as this will be required by customs on departure. Visitors, however, will be able to change back any excess Ethiopia birr to foreign currency at the airport, before departure. If you do have Ethiopian birr to cash in at the airport, you must, in addition to the currency declaration form, bring with you all receipts for exchange transactions.
