Overview

Single-entry visa obtainable at major Egyptian airports for eligible nationalities, costing $25 and allowing a 30-day stay.

The Egypt Visa on Arrival is a convenient entry option for tourists from many Western and developed nations, allowing them to obtain a single-entry visa directly at major Egyptian international airports. This visa is designed for short-term tourism and is typically valid for a stay of up to 30 days. It serves as a practical alternative for travelers who have not secured an e-Visa or embassy visa prior to their departure, streamlining the entry process for those arriving for leisure purposes.

To utilize this facility, travelers must ensure their passport is valid for at least six months beyond their arrival date and carry the required fee in cash. While the process is generally straightforward, it is recommended to have proof of accommodation and return travel documents readily available for immigration officials. It is important to note that this visa is intended for tourism; those traveling for work, study, or other specific purposes should consult with an Egyptian consulate to determine the appropriate visa category.
