Egypt visa for United Kingdom citizens: Updates Info

If they do not have a valid visa, UK nationals are not permitted to stay in Egypt. UK citizens must obtain a visa in order to enter and stay in Egypt for a short period of time. Thankfully, UK citizens can apply for an Egypt e-visa. The online visa program for more than 70 nations, including the United Kingdom, to apply for an e-visa was approved by the Egyptian government in 2017.

The type of visa that UK visitors select to apply for determines how long they can stay in Egypt. Egyptian e-visas generally are classified into one of two categories:

• Single-entry visa: UK citizens who have this visa are allowed to enter Egypt once and stay for 30 days for tourism purposes.
• Multiple-entry visa: Travelers from the UK who utilize this sort of tourist e-visa may stay in Egypt for no more than 30 days for each entry. This e-visa is also for tourism only. 

The Egyptian government has only accepted tourist e-visa; therefore, UK travelers who want to come to Egypt for another reason such as business or medical treatment, must apply at the Egypt Embassy. 

UK applicants can apply independently or through Egypt Immigration Services online for an Egypt e-visa. Before beginning the procedure, UK citizens should make sure they have all the necessary qualifications and documents for e-visa to be processed.

The two primary kinds of visa costs that UK citizens must pay to apply for a visa to Egypt are the Government Fee and the Service Fee. To complete their application, UK applicants must pay the government fee to the Egypt Immigration Department. This depends on the kind of visas UK citizens seek to apply for. The following lists the government fees that UK citizens must pay for each type of visa:

• Single-entry Tourist e-visa cost per person: $70.00
• Multiple-entry Tourist e-visa cost per person: $110.00

For UK citizens, the Visa Service Fee is $69 per visa. The price could go up if UK candidates select a Rush or Super Rush service option. The faster they want their visa, the more money they must pay. The following three types of processing times are currently available from Egypt Immigration Services for visa applications:

• Typical option: UK applicants can acquire visas in three business days. This service is available to UK citizens for $69.00.
• Rush option: UK applicants must pay an additional charge of $79.00 if they need their visas to arrive within two business days.
• Super Rush option: This service enables UK citizens to obtain their visa in less than 24 working hours for an extra $99.00 fee.

UK nationals must get a visa before traveling to Egypt in order to enter this country. Travelers from more than 70 countries have been able to apply since 2017 for an e-visa, which is approved by the Egyptian government. Fortunately, UK nationals can apply for an Egypt e-visa as qualifying nationalities.

UK nationals have a few options for applying for a visa to enter Egypt:

• Apply for a visa online if you plan to visit Egypt for a brief period of time for tourists. 
• Submit a regular visa application to the Egypt Embassy in the United Arab Emirates (paper visa).
• Upon arrival at a border crossing or airport, obtain a visa. 

Applying online is typically the most practical choice for short travels to Egypt. The electronic visa was introduced by the Egyptian Ministry of International Affairs and International Cooperation to advance the travel and tourism industry and quicken the application process for foreign visas. Accessing Egypt Immigration Services, we have optimized the system for UK travelers to have the chance to travel to Egypt in an easy way.

It is true that the electronic visa policy streamlines and expedites the process for residents of the UK seeking a visa to Egypt. UK applicants frequently receive their visas in no more than three business days after submitting the required papers and visa application forms.

UK citizens must pay the full cost in order to finish the application procedure which is called the Egypt Visa Fee. The Egypt Service Fee and the Government Fee are the two types of Egypt e-Visa fees that UK residents must pay when submitting an online application for an Egypt e-Visa.

UK travelers must pay the government charge mandated by the Egyptian government because your country of origin (the United King) is not currently on Egypt's list of exempt countries.

On the other hand, the service charge can be adjusted because UK travelers have many options in processing speed. There are a total of 3 service options available for you to choose from, as shown below:

• Normal: If you select this standardized service, you will receive your e-visa result in 03 working days.
• Urgent: Your processing time is quicker than typical with this kind of service. Within two working days after that, you will have your electronic visa.
• Extremely urgent: This service currently has the quickest processing time. You can anticipate receiving your e-visa result from this type of service within one working day.

Regarding payment options, you can pay for your Egypt e-visa charge via electronic payment or wire transfer (Bank of Cyprus). You should think about using Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, or American Express for electronic payments.

There are two different e-visa kinds available for travelers from the UK. Every type of visa enables travelers from the UK to enter Egypt for tourist and visit purposes listed on the list below. UK candidates must also be aware of the conditions associated with each type of visa, such as the permitted period of stay and the intended use of the document.

• Single-entry e-visa: This e-visa is for UK citizens traveling to Egypt for leisure purposes and to see friends and relatives. However, this e-visa only allows travelers to enter the nation once during its three-month validity period. They are permitted a total of 30 days in this nation.
• Multiple-entry e-visa: This e-visa serves the same purpose as the single-entry tourist e-visa, except tourists from the United Arab Emirates can use it to enter Egypt multiple times and stay there for 30 days each time. This visa is valid for 6 months after the date of entry. 

The following are the basic Egypt e-visa requirements for citizens of the UK:

• A valid passport that will still be functional six months after the date of entrance into Egypt.
• The passports must have at least two blank pages in order to verify the validity of the visa.
• A duplicate of the passport's biographical page (with full information, not missing any details, lines).
• A customized color portrait of the candidate ( with full face and formal clothes).
