Egypt Visa Information
Planning your trip to Egypt? Most travelers require a visa to enter the country, and Egypt offers two simple options: Visa on Arrival and e-Visa.
Whether you prefer to get your visa instantly upon arrival or apply in advance online, both options provide a seamless entry process.
Egypt offers a straightforward visa process for travelers, allowing seamless entry through Visa on Arrival or the Egypt e-Visa system. Whether you prefer obtaining your visa upon arrival or applying online in advance, both options ensure a hassle-free experience.
Visa on Arrival – Quick and Easy Entry
For travelers who prefer a simple and immediate option, Egypt offers a Visa on Arrival, which can be obtained at any international airport upon arrival.
Key Details:
- Cost: $25 USD (~22 EUR, ~20 GBP), payable in cash (USD, EUR, or GBP) at the airport.
- Validity: Single-entry visa valid for 30 days for tourism purposes.
- Process: No pre-application required. Upon landing, proceed to the visa counter before passport control to purchase and receive your visa sticker, or our representative will wait for you after landing with the visa ticket if you prefer.
This option is ideal for last-minute travelers who prefer not to apply online in advance.
Egypt e-Visa – Apply Online for a Hassle-Free Arrival
For travelers who prefer to plan ahead, Egypt offers an e-Visa system, allowing eligible visitors to obtain their travel authorization before departure.
Why Choose an e-Visa?
- Convenient & Time-Saving: Apply online from anywhere, avoiding queues upon arrival.
- Secure & Linked to Your Passport: The e-Visa is electronically registered, simplifying border control.
- Faster Entry: With your pre-approved e-Visa, you proceed directly to immigration upon arrival.
Application Process:
- Complete the Online Application: Provide your passport details and travel information.
- Pay the Visa Fee: Secure online payment for processing.
- Receive Your e-Visa via Email: Approved e-Visas are sent electronically.
- Print Your e-Visa: A printed copy is required for presentation at the airport.
Eligibility:
The e-Visa is available to citizens of eligible countries, including the EU, UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.
Special Entry Rules for European Travelers
Citizens of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Portugal can travel to Egypt using their national ID card instead of a passport.
Requirements for Entry with a National ID:
- Travelers must bring two passport-sized photos to attach to the visa form upon arrival.
- The Visa on Arrival fee of $25 USD (~22 EUR, ~20 GBP) still applies, payable in cash (USD, EUR, or GBP) at the airport visa counter or to our representative.
This option simplifies travel for EU tourists, making the process even more convenient.
Travel Requirements for All Visitors
Before traveling to Egypt, ensure you have:
- A valid passport (or national ID for eligible EU travelers) with at least six months of validity from the arrival date.
