All information regarding the Egypt visa

Do you want to apply for a visa for a holiday to Egypt in 2024 or 2025? All citizens of the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom can easily apply for their Egypt visa online. Keep in mind that children and babies also need their own visa.

What kind of visa do I need? The visa you can apply for online is sent by e-mail as a PDF document. It is therefore also called the electronic visa (e-visa). The Egypt e-visa is suitable for tourists who want to stay in Egypt for up to 30 consecutive days, for a holiday or to visit friends or family. Applying for an e-visa online is the easiest way to meet the visa requirement.

Do you not have a tourist travel purpose, or do you want to stay in Egypt longer than 30 consecutive days? Then you need to make an appointment at the Egyptian consulate to apply for a different type of visa.

Explanation visa variants

Travelling to Egypt multiple times with one visa
When applying, you can choose between two types of e-visas for Egypt. It is possible to apply for a single-entry visa or a multiple-entry visa. The single-entrry visa has a maximum validity of 90 days, and the multiple entry visa has a maximum validity of 180 days. During the validity period, a single-entry visa allows you to travel to Egypt once, while a multiple-entry visa can be used for multiple trips during these 180 days. Both visas can be applied for using the same application form. For both visas, each stay in Egypt should not exceed 30 consecutive days.

Requirements for applying for an e-visa to Egypt

To be able to use the electronic tourist visa for Egypt, you must comply with several visa requirements. The most important requirements are:

  • You have a passport that is valid for at least another 6 months on the day of arrival in Egypt
  • You are travelling with the same passport as the one with which the visa application was made
  • At the time of visa application, you already know at least one accommodation address in Egypt
  • On arrival in Egypt, you can show where you are going to stay for each night
  • You can show all tickets of the remaining flights and cruises upon arrival
  • If you are staying with friends or family, bring a letter of invitation from them

Do you not yet have a detailed travel plan? That is not a problem. You do not need to show that you have planned your trip until you arrive. However, when you apply for your visa, you must indicate when you expect to arrive in Egypt. This may be an estimate. You may still decide to arrive in Egypt up to 30 days earlier or 30 days later than the estimated date of arrival, sometimes even later. You can read exactly how this works on the page about the period of validity of the Egypt visa.

e-Visa.ie is a commercial and professional visa agency, and supports travellers in obtaining, among others, the Egypt visa. e-Visa.ie acts as an intermediary and is in no way part of any government. You can also apply for a visa directly with the immigration service (25 USD per visa, via visa2egypt.gov.eg). However, not with our level of support. If you submit your application via e-Visa.ie, our support centre is available to you 24/7. In addition, we manually check your application and all the documents you provide before submitting it to the immigration authorities on your behalf. If we suspect any errors or omissions while doing so, we will personally contact you to ensure that your application can still be processed quickly and correctly. To use our services, you pay us 25 USD in consular fees, which we pay to the immigration service on your behalf, as well as € 31,94 in service fees as compensation for our services, including VAT. Our services have saved many travellers from major problems during their trip. Should an application be rejected despite our support and verification, we will refund the full purchase price (unless an application for a previous Egypt visa was rejected for the same traveller).
