How much is the fine for overstaying a visa in Egypt?

Upon entering Egypt, all international visitors are issued a passport stamp indicating their arrival date, regardless of their mode of entry, be it by land, air, or sea.

Upon subsequent border crossings, officials will inspect your passport to determine if you have exceeded the allowed duration of your visa.

The fine imposed for overstaying your visa in Egypt will depend on the duration of your overstay.

It's important to note that official regulations change frequently, but typically, a 13-day overstay is usually disregarded by authorities. However, it's not guaranteed that immigration officials will show leniency, so it's not advisable to rely on this.

If you are required to pay a fine, immigration officials will provide you with information about the specific amount. For overstays of 90 days or less, you may be charged up to USD 100. Overstays exceeding 3 months will result in a fine that increases daily.

It is necessary to settle all fines at the airport on the day you leave Egypt. Queues often make this process time-consuming.

To ensure you have enough time to pass through immigration control, pay your fine early, and clear customs to catch your flight, you should arrive early.
