The 60-second version
Eritrea exit needs employer tax certificate and Inland Revenue compliance letter. I export pension statements, close nakfa account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for mining and NGO payroll.
Inland Revenue certificate before closing nakfa payroll account
Eritrea taxes residents on employment and business income — obtain salary tax reconciliation and tax ID clearance from Inland Revenue before departure.
Mining, telecom, and humanitarian NGO payroll common in Asmara — retain employer settlement and work permit cancellation in Tigrinya and English.
