An e-Visa to Egypt (e-Visa Egypt) allows tourists and travelers to quickly and conveniently obtain entry permission. The e-Visa is an alternative to a visa on arrival and helps reduce document processing time at the airport.

Key Points

  • Visa validity: A single-entry visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, allowing a stay in Egypt for up to 30 days per trip. A multiple-entry visa is valid for 6 months, allowing multiple trips, each not exceeding 30 days.
  • Types of visas: Single and multiple-entry visas are available.
  • Cost: In August 2025, the cost of an e-Visa ranges from 44 euros.
  • Documents: To apply, a passport valid for at least 6 months at the time of entry, a completed online form, an electronic photo, and a scan of the passport's first page are required.
  • Additional documents upon entry: passport, printed e-Visa, hotel or tour booking confirmation, invitation from the host party (if required).

Important: an electronic tourist visa to Egypt is not extendable. For a repeat visit, a new application must be submitted. An electronic visa also does not grant the right to be employed — for this, a work visa is required, issued through the consulate.

Please note: if you are traveling to Egypt with an identity card, you will be issued an entry card. For this, you will need two biometric passport photos.
