VISA REQUIREMENTS
Heading to Egypt?
A SIMPLE 4-STEP GUIDE
We recommend that all visitors and participants secure their visa well in advance to ensure a smooth journey. Please note that Visa validity can vary based on your nationality. Please consult your embassy for specific details and requirements.
Before applying, check the type of visa you need, and check whether you're eligible for an e-Visa, Visa on Arrival, or need to apply at an Egyptian Embassy/Consulate.
Gather the required documents, which typically include:
- A valid passport (must be valid for at least 6 months).
- A completed visa application form.
- A recent passport-sized photo.
- Proof of travel itinerary (e.g., flight tickets, hotel booking).
- Proof of financial means (for some visa types).
Online (e-Visa): Apply via Egypt’s official e-Visa portal, submit documents, and pay online.
Embassy/Consulate: Apply at your nearest Egyptian mission and pay the fee.
Visa on Arrival: If eligible, get your visa at the airport by paying the fee.
If approved, your e-Visa will be sent via email.
If applying through an embassy, processing times vary (usually 5–10 business days).
If using Visa on Arrival, you will receive it immediately upon entry.
