Visas for Egypt

A Visa is required to travel to Egypt except for nationals of the following countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen (if the stay does not exceed three months).

Be careful, however, to inform yourself regularly about this exemption which can be called into question at any time by the Egyptian authorities.

The Visa can be obtained in three ways, namely:

– from the Egyptian consulate of the applicant’s country of residence (affixed into your passport),

– online via the site (eVisa) prior to your trip to Egypt,

– at the arrival.

Regarding travel for Business reasons, if you wish to reduce the delays compared to a Visa request affixed in the passport and secure your travel by having a Visa before departure, then obtaining and presenting it to customs of a Tourism eVisa will be tolerated for short-term Business visits. Visa Travel International can get you this eVisa prior your trip so that you can fly with piece of mind.

To be able to enter the territory of Egypt, the traveler will need to bring his passport with Visa (or eVisa) as well as a return flight ticket.

If you wish to obtain the Visa on arrival then you will need to be pay 25 euros for a single Visa or 60 euros for a multiple entry Visa.
This amount will be paid in cash or with your credit card.

It should be noted that, even if the traveler is in possession of all the documents requested to validate his entry into Egypt, the Egyptian authorities reserve the right to refuse access to their territory without having to justify it.
