1Overview
The Egypt eVisa is the electronic visa for tourists, applied for and issued online. It is for tourism only and carries no work or business authorization.
Business, work or study trips need a visa from an embassy or consulate.
Who needs it
- Most travelers must obtain a visa in advance unless visa-exempt or eligible for visa on arrival.
- Visa-exempt examples: Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
- Most Western travelers (USA, UK, EU, Canada) can choose between an eVisa and visa on arrival; those eligible for neither must use an embassy.
- Every traveler, including infants and minors, needs their own visa unless exempt.
- Transit: under 6 hours, stay in the transit area; 6 to 48 hours you may leave with a valid onward ticket and a transit visa (confirm with your airline); longer needs a visa.
