Eritrea does not allow entry with an ID card only. All travelers are required to present a valid passport upon arrival.
Travelers to Eritrea must present a valid passport. Entry requirements vary depending on nationality:
Eritrea does not currently offer visa-free entry to any countries. All visitors, except for citizens of Ethiopia (under special agreements), require a visa to enter Eritrea.
Most nationalities require a visa to enter Eritrea. Visa applications should be made at an Eritrean embassy or consulate before travel. Travelers may need to provide documentation such as an invitation letter, proof of accommodation, and a return ticket.
Note: Always check the latest entry requirements based on your nationality, as regulations can change frequently.
Currently, Eritrea does not have a network of toll roads. All major roads and highways are accessible without any toll fees.
Eritrea has diverse climatic conditions due to its varied topography. Coastal areas experience a hot desert climate, while the highlands enjoy a cooler, more temperate climate.
The highland areas, including the capital Asmara, have a mild climate year-round. Temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F) with distinct wet and dry seasons.
The coastal region, including Massawa, is much hotter and more humid, with temperatures reaching up to 40°C (104°F) during summer months.
The official currency of Eritrea is the Eritrean Nakfa (ERN). It is abbreviated as ERN and symbolized as Nfk.
Nakfa banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Nfk. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 cents.
Currency exchange services are available at major banks in Asmara and other urban areas. The use of foreign currency is strictly regulated in Eritrea, so it is advised to exchange money at authorized banks or hotels.
Credit and debit cards are not widely accepted in Eritrea, and ATMs are scarce. It is recommended to carry sufficient cash (Nakfa) for your expenses.
