Egypt Entry Requirements

PASSPORT VALIDITY: Must have six months validity

BLANK PASSPORT PAGES: At least one blank page

TOURIST VISA REQUIRED: Yes. $25 upon entry at the airport

VACCINATIONS: None

Passport and Visas:

U.S. citizens must have a visa to enter Egypt.

U.S. citizens can obtain a renewable single-entry 30-day tourist visa on arrival at Egyptian airports for a 25 USD fee. A multiple entry visa is also obtainable for 60 USD. (U.S Citizens holding a diplomatic or official passport require an official visa prior to travel if the purpose is work-related. Official travelers should not attempt to enter on a non-official passport.)

The Government of Egypt has created a website for the issuance of “e-visas.” There are other websites purporting to offer electronic visas, some of which reportedly charge double the official price, but this is the only official Government of Egypt portal for this service. U.S. citizens and the citizens of 44 other countries are eligible to apply through this means in advance of their travel.

Egyptian immigration officials occasionally have denied entry to travelers without explanation.

U.S. citizens who have experienced difficulty with their visa status in Egypt or are concerned about their eligibility for a visa upon arrival should apply for a visa at an Egyptian embassy or consulate prior to travel, but a visa obtained prior to entry does not guarantee admission to Egypt.

Visas for gainful employment or study in Egypt must be obtained prior to travel.
