Egypt Visa Requirements and Rules

Planning your next adventure to Egypt? Here’s everything you must know about their visa rules in under a minute! First up: Most travelers can apply for an e-Visa—digitally, from anywhere. All you need is a passport valid for at least six months from your arrival date. You’ll need a debit or credit card to pay the fees and an email address to receive your visa. Upload a clear scan of your passport’s info page—no thumbprints or obstructions, please! Visiting Sinai resorts like Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba, or Taba? Some travelers can enjoy visa-free entry up to 14 days with a special stamp on arrival—great for beach getaways.

You can still enter Egypt within the visa’s validity—even if your arrival shifts slightly. Quick reminders: • Upload a clear passport scan • Include accommodation or host address—even a handwritten note works • If staying with friends or family—get an invitation letter with full names & address And that’s your visa cheat-sheet! Remember to check for special cases like transit visas or restrictions for business visits. Egypt awaits—happy travels!
