How to get in Eritrea
All nationalities must apply for a visa in advance before entering the country.
Some Eritrean Embassies have websites where a visa application can be downloaded and printed out, saving you some time. When you apply for a visa to Eritrea, you must do it at an Eritrean Embassy in - or accredited to - the country where you are a citizen and nowhere else. If there is no Eritrean Embassy or mission in your country, contact your foreign office/ministry to verify the nearest accredited Eritrean mission. Below is a list of Eritrean Embassies around the world.
These are the Eritrean Embassies in '
Europe':
- London
- Paris,
- Brussels,
- The Hague,

When traveling overland, as of December 2008 it was NOT possible to obtain visas in Sudan (neither in Khartoum nor Kassala) unless you're a Sudanese national. The border with Djibouti has been indefinitely closed as of December 2008 and with Ethiopia as of May 1998.
For a tourist visa, you need to submit specific information about when and at what border post you will arrive and depart, so it is wise to have already made some plans (such as buying a ticket).
