Mexico to Eritrea visa requirements

Yes, a visa is required. Mexican ordinary passport holders must obtain an Eritrean tourist visa in advance from an Eritrean embassy or consulate before travel. Eritrea offers no eVisa and no visa on arrival for Mexican citizens, and there is no Eritrean diplomatic mission in Mexico, so applications are typically filed with the Eritrean Embassy in Washington, DC or the Consulate General in Toronto. Eritrea maintains a restrictive visa policy. Only Kenya and Uganda are fully visa-exempt, and only Ethiopia and Sudan are eligible for visa on arrival; Mexico appears on none of these lists. As of 2026 there is no public eVisa portal, so a Mexican ordinary passport holder must apply for a tourist (visit) visa in advance through an Eritrean diplomatic mission. Because Eritrea has no embassy accredited to Mexico, Mexicans generally apply through the Embassy of Eritrea in Washington, DC (or the Consulate General in Toronto), submitting the B62.3 application online via the Consular Affairs Processing System and then mailing the original passport. The tourist visa is valid for three months from issue (arrival must fall within that window) and typically permits a one-month stay in Eritrea, extendable at the Immigration office in Asmara. Note that independent travel is heavily restricted: foreigners need a separate Travel Permit for Foreigners to go more than ~25 km outside Asmara, and most visitors travel via a registered tour operator. Processing requires a minimum of 15 business days, so apply well ahead of departure.
