Egypt visa requirements

Egypt e-Visa is a government-issued electronic visa that simplifies the visa process by allowing travelers to apply online and avoid traditional paperwork.

The online visa to Egypt serves tourism and business purposes and can be issued as a single- or multiple-entry permit.

A single-entry visa is valid for 90 days and enables its holders to have a 30-day stay in Egypt. A multiple-entry visa has a 180-day validity period, during which travelers can have numerous 30-day visits to the country.

General Egypt visa requirements are:

Based on official government sources

  • Recent face photograph reflecting the applicant's current appearance;
  • Hotel reservation to prove the place of accommodation in Egypt;
  • Flight ticket to the home country or country of layover;
  • Business card if traveling for business purposes.

Egypt visa FAQs

What travellers commonly ask about Egypt visas.

Still have questions?Our visa experts are available 24/7 by chat and email.
Do I need an Egypt e-Visa?

You can easily access this information by selecting your nationality in our eligibility checker available at the top of the website.

Do I need an e-Visa to transit through Egypt?

The e-Visa is required for any layovers in Egypt, so make sure you apply for a visa online at least 7 days in advance before your transit.

Can I get a visa on arrival in Egypt?

Only certain nationalities are eligible to obtain a visa on arrival in Egypt. Travelers holding passports issued by the following countries may purchase a visa at an Egyptian border crossing: EU member states, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States. However, applying for an Egypt e-Visa in advance is strongly recommended, since approval on arrival is not guaranteed.

I hold a travel document (not a regular passport). Can I get an Egypt e-Visa?

Unfortunately, holders of travel documents (not national passports) are not eligible for an e-Visa to Egypt. You must hold an ordinary passport. If you wish to travel to Egypt, you should apply for a traditional visa at the Egyptian Embassy.

How long does it take to process an Egypt e-Visa?

The average processing time of an e-Visa to Egypt is 3-5 business days. However, we advise applying earlier than a week before your trip.

How can I check the status of my application?

To check the status of your application, you need a Passporta account. Please use this link to log in to your existing profile or create a new one.

How will I receive my e-Visa after approval?

Once approved, your e-Visa will be sent directly to the email address provided in the application form.

My application status shows "Finished" – where is my e-Visa?

Once your application status shows "Finished", the e-Visa will be sent to your email address as a PDF attachment. Please check your inbox. Remember to check your SPAM or junk folder as well.

My e-Visa has a lowercase letter in the passport number instead of uppercase. Is this a problem?

No. The Egyptian e-Visa system automatically displays passport numbers using lowercase letters. This is a standard formatting feature of the system. As long as the passport number and all other personal details match your passport, the visa remains valid and this will not cause any issues during immigration checks.

Can I work in Egypt with an e-Visa?

Any form of employment in Egypt under electronic visas is strictly prohibited. Contact the Egyptian Embassy to explore available work visa options.

How long can I stay in Egypt with an e-Visa?

Each stay in Egypt with an e-Visa cannot exceed 30 days. Note that while a single-entry option grants only one visit, a multiple-entry permit allows its holders to enter Egypt numerous times during the validity period.

What should I do if my e-Visa has been rejected?

Unfortunately, the Immigration Office has determined that you do not meet the requirements for the Egyptian e-Visa. In this case, you should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Egypt to apply for a traditional visa.

Those who select a multiple-entry permit will be able to enter Egypt numerous times within a 6-month (180-day) validity period. Each visit, however, cannot last more than 30 days.
