Israel to Eritrea visa requirements

Israeli passport holders need a visa to enter Eritrea. There is no visa-free entry, no visa-on-arrival, and no eVisa for Israelis. You must apply in advance at an Eritrean diplomatic mission (there is no Eritrean embassy in Israel, so applications are made through an Eritrean mission abroad). Allow at least 15 business days for processing. Eritrea requires Israeli ordinary passport holders to obtain a tourist visa before travel. Eritrea's visa policy grants visa-free entry only to Kenya and Uganda, and visa-on-arrival only to Ethiopia and Sudan; all other nationalities, including Israel, must obtain a visa from an Eritrean diplomatic mission in advance. No eVisa system exists. The standard tourist visa is single-entry, valid three months from issuance, and permits a stay of up to one month (extendable at the Immigration Office in Asmara). Applications use form B62.3 and require a passport valid at least six months beyond the trip, a passport photo, proof of sufficient funds, and a flight itinerary. Processing takes a minimum of 15 business days. Israel and Eritrea have no resident diplomatic missions in each other's territory, so Israeli applicants generally apply through an Eritrean embassy or consulate in a third country (such as the missions handling consular affairs via the CAPS online system) or arrange a sponsor-based pre-arranged visa. Travelers should also be aware that Eritrea carries elevated travel advisories and that an in-country exit visa may be required to leave.
