Foreign nationals should have a visa upon entry in compliance with the Arab Republic of Egypt. If you are planning to visit for tourism purposes, now is the high time to apply. Egypt has different types of visas available depending on the traveler's preferred method.

Tourist Visa is the most common among all categories. It allows foreign nationals to travel in Egypt with a pre-authorized travel requirement. This type of Visa does not allow foreigners to work or permanently reside in the country. They have to go directly to their respective embassy to acquire business and working permits. Travelers who have to transit in Egypt and need to stay for more than 48 hours at the airport must get a Transit Visa. You may also opt to get a Visa upon arrival at the airport. Visa On Arrival may take long queues, and the only form of payment accepted is cash. Take note that presenting valid documents and paying your Visa fee will not guarantee Visa approval.

Egypt e-Visa is a travel document you can obtain electronically. The entire process is easy, time-saving, and one-hundred percent online. Anyone who has laptops or mobile devices can apply, so long as they have access to the internet. Visiting an embassy takes a lot of effort as it needs physical attendance of the applicants. With the new e-Visa process, you can apply at home or work trouble-free. It comes in handy for those who are too busy to go directly to their respective embassy. In the meantime, e-Visa is only for tourism purposes. Travelers must apply seven days before the date of arrival in Egypt. This application has a quick turnaround time compared to face-to-face Visa filing.

There are some countries exempted from the e-Visa application. It includes travelers from the US, UK, and EU. Maximum stay is within fifteen days and applicable for specific destinations only. Upon arrival at the airport, eligible travelers will get a free entry stamp.

Applicants from eligible countries may choose either a single-entry or multiple-entry visa. Egypt e-Visa has a 90-day validity starting from the date of issuance. Foreign nationals can stay in the country within 30 days upon arrival at the airport. Overstaying may have corresponding consequences such as paying fines, being deported, or banned from future travel to Egypt. It is best to keep track of your travel dates to avoid such consequences.

In the case of traveling with a minor, a separate application is not necessary. Parents or guardians can add the children's details on their e-Visa application.
