People from 41 different countries can now apply for an Egyptian visa online, eliminating the need for embassy visits. This new service was officially introduced at the Cairo ICT Expo.
The online visa is for single-entry visits and is valid for up to 30 days. Travelers visiting Egypt for tourism, business, or transit purposes need to obtain this visa. The cost of the visa is $25, and the only requirement is that your passport is valid for at least 8 months after your stay.
Previously, citizens of these 41 countries could get a visa upon arrival or at any Egyptian port of entry. Now, they can only apply for the visa online.
The list of eligible countries is subject to change, so it’s a good idea to check the latest updates before planning your trip. If your country isn’t on the list, you can still visit Egypt, but you’ll need to get a visa through the traditional process.
