  "description": "The Immigration And Citizenship Service (ICS)'s live Ethiopian e-Visa wizard at evisa.gov.et, applied for live and unauthenticated — no account creation or login is required to reach or fill the application form. This schema models the individual Tourist Visa pathway across the wizard's own six-step navigation: Visa Category (visa type/validity selection plus a genuinely conditional Company Reference Number field observed when Medical Treatment Visa is selected instead), Arrival Information (flight details and Ethiopian accommodation address), and Personal Information (identity, contact, and address details), all live-walked and interactively filled and validated with real browser input. The Passport Information step's six fields were confirmed present, labelled, and marked required via direct DOM inspection (the site pre-mounts every step's form markup in a single page load, only gating visibility/navigation by step), but were not interactively filled and validated live this session. The Review and Attachments steps were not reached: unlike every preceding step, the Attachments step's file-upload inputs are not part of the page's pre-mounted markup, so its exact document/file composition could not be confirmed without further live navigation — disclosed as an accepted scope boundary rather than silently omitted or guessed. No visa fee was paid and no application was actually submitted in producing this schema. Filing this application is a traveller action performed directly with the Immigration And Citizenship Service through evisa.gov.et; this schema does not file the application itself, and the live source is always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia or its Immigration And Citizenship Service.",

    "notes": "GOV-3313 (\"GovSchema Standard Research\"). Opens Ethiopia as a new jurisdiction (1/6 verticals: Visa). This cycle scouted five live e-visa/e-government portals for genuinely new (not-yet-in-registry) jurisdictions in parallel: Cambodia's evisa.gov.kh (confirmed a live but currently-outaged WAF stub, TLS-certificate-confirmed as a genuine MFAIC domain, not retired — re-check in a future cycle), Uzbekistan's e-visa.gov.uz (a real live Angular SPA blocked by a client-side rendering bug that leaves a permanent loading overlay before any step-2+ field could be confirmed), Ethiopia's evisa.gov.et (this schema), and Georgia's evisa.gov.ge (a strong ~74-field candidate, left as a disclosed, ready-to-author backlog item for a future cycle rather than authored this same session). Walked live with Playwright + Chromium (`executablePath` pointed at the locally cached Chromium build; `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set for the sysroot's libraries; `waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded'` plus explicit settle delays — this site is a React SPA that a plain WebFetch cannot render). The site pre-mounts every step's form markup into the DOM on the very first page load (all six steps' `<label>`/`<input>`/`<select>` elements are queryable immediately), with only visibility and interactivity gated per-step by React state — used to independently corroborate the Passport Information step's field labels/required markers even though that step was not reached by live navigation. Steps 1 through 3 (Visa Category, Arrival Information, Personal Information) were live-filled end to end with real Playwright interactions (dropdown selection via PrimeReact's `.p-dropdown`, an Ant Design (`ant-picker`) calendar for every date field, a custom radio group for gender, and a phone-input widget pre-filled with a `+251` country-code prefix), each step's own client-side required-field validation confirmed to genuinely block the \"Next\" button until satisfied (e.g. \"Accommodation Telephone is required\", \"Arrival Date is required!\" observed live), and a screenshot taken of the reached Personal Information step's Date-of-Birth calendar open and populated. A genuinely conditional field was found and modelled: selecting \"Medical Treatment Visa\" (instead of \"Tourist Visa\") reveals a required `companyReferenceNumber` text field not present for Tourist Visa, and reveals a different, larger `visaValidity` option set (4 options vs. Tourist's single \"Single Entry 30 Days\") — confirming genuine per-visa-type cascading logic, not a static form. See the field-level `sourceRef`s and VERIFICATION.md for the full step-by-step record, every disclosed scope boundary, and every enum value list's exact provenance."
