The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive overview of evisa.gov.et's purpose, pricing, eligibility, and competitive positioning despite being unable to directly access the official website. It relied entirely on web search results and third-party informational sites to construct the answer, pulling pricing, visa types, processing times, and comparative information from search snippets and visited third-party guides. The official site itself remains inaccessible to automated fetches, forcing the agent to treat public search results and third-party aggregators as the primary source layer.

• ›The official evisa.gov.et domain failed all direct fetch attempts (steps [0], [1], [5]), so the agent never accessed the primary source. All substantive information came from web search results and third-party informational sites (evisaethiopia.info, passportvisaconsultancy.com, visawise.net), which the agent cited as sources.
• ›Search result snippets in steps [2], [4], [6], [9], [10], [12] were routing-only (they surfaced URLs but contained no answer text themselves). The agent had to visit secondary sites to retrieve actual content about pricing, visa types, and comparisons.
• ›Step [13] (evisaethiopia.info) and steps [7], [8] (third-party visa guides) were content-bearing, providing structured comparisons of eVisa vs. visa-on-arrival vs. embassy visas, but these are NOT the official government source. The agent had no direct access to evisa.gov.et's own documentation of fees, types, or eligibility.
• ›Pricing and visa type information (tourist $62, journalist $152, etc.) were extracted from third-party aggregators, not from official government documentation. The agent explicitly noted in its answer that investment visa pricing could not be found.
• ›The official website does not publish machine-readable structured data, pricing tables, or comparison content in a form that automated agents can access. The site is effectively invisible to web fetchers, making it impossible to verify currency or completeness of third-party summaries.
• ›The agent correctly identified that direct website access failed and worked around it via search discovery, but had to caveat multiple findings ('I couldn't access the evisa.gov.et website directly') and could not answer all sub-questions (investment visa cost, sanctioned country procedures).
