Most nationalities need a visa to enter Egypt, but citizens of many countries can apply for an e-Visa in advance or obtain a visa on arrival at Egypt’s international airports. 

Getting an e-Visa is generally a smoother process than getting a visa at the airport. All you have to do is fill out the online application form on our website.

If you decide to get a visa at the airport when you land in Egypt, be prepared to wait in line – bring your own pen to fill out the paperwork in line or on the plane – and pay in cash (US dollars, euros or British pounds only, not Egyptian pounds).

Citizens of Bahrain, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Macau, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates can enter Egypt visa-free for up to 90 days. Citizens of Malaysia can enter for up to 14 days.

If you're not eligible to get a visa on arrival or an e-Visa, you have to apply for the regular visa. Click on "apply for my visa" to find out about the required documents. 

The Egypt Embassy requires your original passport in order to process your visa application.
The visa will be stamped or affixed to a page inside your passport.

Please send your passport and the required documents to the following address:
