Hi,
In my opinion,I dont think u need it after the interview.The reason why i said that is,the validity of the Medical Forms,it is clearly written in the documents i posted and in the medical forms that the medical is valid only for 6 months if everything is fine but in my experience i had had my medical test a month prior to my interview and this implied that i would only have 5 months after the interview but instead the officer stamped on my passport 6 months validity.almost every one in Ethiopia i met got the 6 months validity period after the date of interview.therefore try to have your police certificate after you got your 2NL just to be on the safer side and as for the validity of the visa,after the interview you will have 6 months.May God be with you

Hi Hela,
Happy Ethiopian new year to you too.To answer your question, at Ministry of Education the certificates will be authenticated at the back of the original national exam certificates and the same to Addis Ababa Education Bureau and at High Schools,for the high school transcripts.However for the university degree certificates i did authenticate on the true copy,u can authenticate on the original certificate though if u pay your cost sharing.but u need the copy of both pages of all your authenticated documents when you go for the interview.as for your private message(PM) i will PM u soon.May God be with u.
