How to get Eritrea Tourist Visa

  

Entry visa: required, to be requested at the Embassy of Eritrea in Rome or, as in my case, at the Consulate (Via Temperanza, 4-6 - 20127 Milan - Tel. +39.02.28999520

Fax: +39.02.28999550, e-mail: info@cogemi.com). The same is open from Monday to Thursday from 9.00 to 11.00.

 

Keep in mind that the kind and efficient employee of the Consulate always answers both the phone and email.

 

The procedure for obtaining a tourist visa for Eritrea is as follows:

 

It is necessary to go to the Consulate and hand in a passport photo, the original passport, 2 completed forms, available at the Consulate (in which you will have to put the name and address of the hotel where you intend to stay) and a photocopy of the card. 'Identity. Then after about half an hour you will be called by the assistant who will ask you some questions about the reason for your visit. Then he will return your original passport and you will have to leave him a telephone contact.

 

Subsequently, the Milan Consulate will request the Visa Authorization from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Asmara in Eritrea which will be given to you in about ten working days.

 

Once the aforementioned authorization has been obtained, the staff of the Milan Consulate will call you to notify you and you (or whoever is on your behalf) will have to go to the Consulate, with the urinal of the Passport and 50 Euros in cash and you will have to deliver everything to the assistant that in about half an hour will put the visa on your passport valid for 3 months from the date of issue that allows you to stay in the country for 1 month. You will also be given a 50 Euro payment receipt.

 

Keep in mind that the visa for Eritrea can only be applied for in the applicant's country of residence and therefore for me only in Italy.
