Eritrea Family Visit Visa

The Eritrea Family Visit Visa is a specific entry authorization designed for individuals traveling to Eritrea to visit relatives residing within the country. This visa category facilitates personal connections and family reunions, requiring applicants to maintain a clear purpose for their visit. Because of the specific nature of this visa, the Eritrean authorities mandate that the applicant must have a designated reference in Eritrea who is a legal resident. This reference plays a crucial role in the application process, as they are often required to coordinate with local immigration offices in Asmara to support the visa request.

To successfully obtain this visa, applicants must submit a completed and signed visa application form (B62.3) along with a recent passport-sized photograph. The applicant is also required to provide proof of sufficient funds to cover all expenses incurred during their stay. The visa fee is currently set at USD 93, though applicants should be aware that all consular fees are typically non-refundable. Furthermore, the applicant's passport must remain valid for at least six months beyond the intended date of departure from Eritrea, ensuring compliance with standard international travel regulations.
