To provide the electromagnetic wave absorbing transfer foil transferring only the parts necessary for absorption of electromagnetic waves, and which is easy to handle in a small size integrated circuit or high density mounting or the like, for example.

The electromagnetic absorbing transfer foil is provided at least with a release layer 53, a magnetic layer comprising at least one of soft magnetic or hard magnetic metal or alloy, and an adhesive layer 200. The electromagnetic absorbing transfer foil is transferred by a method, wherein the electromagnetic absorbing transfer foil is transferred to a body to be transferred 100 through more than either a single means of heating or pressurizing, and then is released from the release layer 53 of the electromagnetic absorbing transfer foil to transfer at least the magnetic layer and the adhesive layer, including at least the soft magnetic or a hard magnetic metal or alloy, to the body to be transferred 100.
