Hungary to Eritrea
Can children travel on this route?
Travellers under 18 must travel with a letter of parental consent and be ready to declare a guardian at the border on arrival in Eritrea.
What should I do before I travel?
Obtain a physical visa in advance from an Eritrean embassy or consulate before you travel. Eritrea does not keep an embassy in Hungary; the nearest Eritrean embassy is in Egypt, so you will need to contact an Eritrean embassy or consulate outside Hungary to apply.
Ensure your ordinary Hungary passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned date of entry into Eritrea.
Carry travel insurance if you wish; it is recommended but not a condition of entry. No proof of funds is recorded as required for this route.
