All visitors to Egypt, with the exception of those from visa-exempt countries, are required to obtain a visa for entry. There are two primary types of entry visas available: the visa on arrival and the Egypt e-Visa.

The visa on arrival has been a longstanding method for entry into Egypt. Eligible travelers can acquire this visa upon arrival at Egyptian border control. The process involves queuing, completing the visa application form, and paying the necessary fee.

Tourists can obtain a visa on arrival at immigration kiosks located in any airport terminal. The procedure includes filling out the application form, purchasing a visa sticker, and presenting it along with a valid passport at the immigration desks.

To be eligible for a visa on arrival, travelers must be from designated countries and hold a passport with a minimum of six months’ validity remaining.

Please be aware that the visa fee must be paid in cash, as credit or debit cards are not accepted. It is advisable to carry the exact amount to prevent any potential issues.
