How long can I stay in Egypt without a visa?
When visiting Egypt, it's important to note that visa-free entry durations vary based on the visitor's nationality. Given that visa policies may change, it's essential to confirm the current regulations with Egyptian authorities or the nearest Egyptian embassy or consulate before your travel date.
Here are some general pointers:
- Visa-Free Countries: Certain nations' citizens are permitted to enter Egypt without a visa for a specific duration, typically ranging from 30 to 90 days. These periods could differ based on bilateral agreements and diplomatic ties
- Visa on Arrival for Tourists: Egypt provides a visa on arrival for travelers who do not qualify for visa-free entry at main airports and land border crossings. This type of visa permits stays of up to 30 days, with the possibility of an extension for an additional fee.
- E-Visa Option: Egypt has established an e-Visa system for travelers from qualifying countries, enabling a stay of up to 30 days. The e-visa must be acquired before arrival in Egypt.
- Extended Stays: For those intending to stay in Egypt for longer durations, it is probable that an advance application for a tourist visa from an Egyptian embassy or consulate will be necessary.
For information on the duration of stay in Egypt without a visa and to know the specific conditions depending on your nationality, it's best to review the most recent visa requirements on our Egypt Immigration Services website or seek advice from the nearest Egyptian embassy.
