Your Entry Visa To
Egypt
Most tourists and visitors to
Egypt can obtain an entry visa at any of the
major airports or ports of entry. All
foreigners arriving in Egypt should have a
valid passport (with at least 6 months left before expiry) to get an entry visa.
The visa can also be obtained from
Egyptian Diplomatic and Consular Missions
abroad, or when in Egypt ( for
extension or renewal) from the visa department at
the Travel Documents, Immigration and
Nationality Administration (TDINA) at Mogamma building located at
Tahrir squire in the Cairo city centre
There are 2 types of
Egyptian Visa:
Entry Visa: is required for any
foreigner arriving in Egypt for purposes
other than tourism, e.g. work, study, etc.
The possession of a valid entry visa is
needed to complete the
residence procedure in Egypt.
Tourist Visa: is usually valid for
a period not exceeding three months and
granted on either single or multiple entry
basis.
The Visa is valid only
for travel within three months from the date
of issue and is valid only for One- month
stay in Egypt, beginning on the date of
arrival. If you have a reason to extend your
stay, you can do that from the ministry of
interior affairs in Egypt after declaring
the reasons for that and their acceptance
for that reasons.
Egyptian with foreign passports:

holds foreign passport will be granted a
courtesy visa after declaring proof for
Egyptian nationality like Egyptian
(passport, personal or family identification
card or birth certificate), also the foreign
wife to Egyptian husband will be granted a
courtesy visa after declaring a proof for
their marriage.
How to
get your
visa at the airport:
The visa is simply a stamp (like a mail or
postage stamp ) that you buy from the visa
office, at the port of entry just before the
immigration booth; you can't really miss it!
The
visa will cost you around $15 and after
buying it; you just stick in any empty page
on your passport. Don't worry; it’s so easy!
Once you have bought your visa you then
stand in line to get your passport stamped
by the immigration officer.

USEFUL TIP:
While you are buying your
visa, use the opportunity to exchange your
currency, but please note, only $US, £UK or
Euros can be accepted.
Visitors entering Egypt at the overland
border post at Taba, to visit the Gulf of
Aqaba coast and St. Catherine’s, can be
exempt from requiring a visa and be granted
a free residence permit, valid for fourteen
days, to visit the area. |
