Visa costs

VisumServcie.nl delivers the passport with all necessary documents to the consulate, which then requests permission in Eritrea. The time before approval is granted is not known in advance. We will inform you as soon as this is announced.

The processing of the visa at the consulate is 6 working days.

With the tourist visa single entrance you have a maximum stay of 30 days in Eritrea.
The visa has a 3-month issue date. You must, therefore, be in Eritrea within 3 months and up to 30 days.

If you have a business visa, the visa is valid for 3 months, with 30 days per visit.

Please note that national holidays in Eritrea and the Netherlands do not count as working days.
