What kind of visa do I need? On this website you can apply for an electronic visa (e-visa) that you will receive by e-mail as a PDF document. The Egypt e-visa is suitable for tourists who want to stay in Egypt for up to 30 consecutive days, for a holiday, or to visit friends or family. Applying for an e-visa online is the easiest way to meet the visa requirement.

If you are not travelling to Egypt for tourism, or if you want to stay in the country for more than 30 consecutive days, you need to make an appointment at the Egyptian consulate and apply for a different type of visa.

Travelling to Egypt multiple times with one visa
You can apply for two different types of e-visas for Egypt, the single-entry visa or the multiple-entry visa. The single-entry visa has a maximum validity period of 90 days. The multiple entry visa has a validity period of up to 180 days. A single-entry visa allows you to travel to Egypt once during its validity period. However, the multiple-entry visa permits multiple trips during the 180 days validity period. You can apply for either one of these visas through the same application form. Both visas allow a maximum stay of 30 days.
