Transit visa for Egypt

The Transit Visa for Egypt allows foreign visitors to pass through the country for a limited period to reach any destination. European tourists have the option to obtain Visa on Arrival if they carry the necessary documents with them.

You are free to obtain your visa on arrival or through an Egyptian overseas mission, or to authorize a third party to obtain the approval. As an accredited visa agency, we are happy to take on this task for you. Take your time to prepare for your trip.

When traveling to Egypt to visit another country that requires a visa, you need the main visa of the destination country. This is entered into the applicant's passport by the consulate of the country in question. We are happy to assist you in obtaining visas for other destination countries.

If the transit of a foreign national lasts less than 6 hours, no visa is required, and travelers can stay in the airport transit area without leaving it. If the transit lasts between 6 and 48 hours, travelers can leave the airport and explore the surroundings, but they must prove their onward journey with their passport. If the transit lasts longer than 48 hours, a corresponding visa for Egypt must be issued in order to stay in the country for longer than the prescribed time.

Transit through Cairo Airport

Passengers traveling with the main national airline Egypt Air and transferring at Cairo Airport can take advantage of the unique opportunity to apply for a free transit visa. This allows you to stay in the country for between 8 and 96 hours to get to know the culture and sights of Egypt. Nationals of countries for which such conditions are provided are entitled to obtain a transit visa. To apply for approval, you must contact the official representation of the airline located in the airport's transit area.

The Egyptian Consulate distinguishes between two types of transit visas:

• Single entry, valid for 30 days and up to 48 hours stay
• Multiple entry, valid for 90 days and up to 48 hours stay.

The validity of the visa starts from the day of issue. Crossing the border is possible within 30 days. For example, you need a transit visa for multiple entries to Egypt if you are traveling through Egypt on the outbound and return journey. The Egyptian Embassy decides individually on the actual validity and length of stay for each applicant. Be sure to adhere to the information in the visa stamp in your passport.

The costs for a transit visa for Egypt may vary depending on the type of visa (single or multiple entry), the nationality of the applicant, and the processing time. The main cost components are the consular fee, which is to be paid for processing your application, and the service fee, which covers the services provided by our office.

In addition, you can take advantage of optional services such as filling out the online visa application, obtaining valid overseas health insurance, and a priority service to expedite the processing of your visa application.
