Eritrea Official/Diplomatic Visa

The Eritrea Official/Diplomatic Visa is a specialized entry classification reserved for foreign government officials, accredited diplomats, and representatives of recognized international organizations traveling to Eritrea on official business. This visa category underscores the diplomatic protocols and bilateral relations between Eritrea and the international community. By providing a streamlined and gratis entry process, the Eritrean government facilitates the necessary movement of personnel who are engaged in official state functions, diplomatic missions, or the operations of international bodies within its borders.

This visa is issued on a gratis (free) basis to qualifying applicants. To apply, the individual must present a valid passport that has at least six months of remaining validity beyond the intended date of entry. The application process requires the submission of a completed and signed visa application form (B62.3) along with a recent passport-sized photograph. Additionally, applicants must provide a diplomatic note verbale or an official letter from their respective government or organization. This documentation must clearly state the purpose and duration of the official visit, ensuring that the applicant's status and activities are formally recognized by the Eritrean authorities.
