Egypt e-Visa requirements for Bulgarian citizens

The country of Egypt is one of the most visited countries in the world right now, thanks to its beautiful sights such as the Red Sea coast, Alexandria city, the Saint Catherine monastery, and the Nile river.

It is essential to have a visa or similar document before you come into Egypt to let the local authority verify your profile before you come in. But how can you get it affordably without spending lots of time and money on it? Here is the answer: the Egypt electronic visa (Egypt e-visa).

Egypt e-visas take less time to process than casual visas and cost less. They can be issued within a few business days. Find out here how to apply for an Egypt e-Visa as a Bulgarian, including the requirements and the process of an Egypt e-Visa.
