eVisa
The Egypt eVisa is an official electronic document issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Interior via the government-run Egypt e-Visa Portal (www.visa2egypt.gov.eg), permitting entry into and travel within Egypt. According to the official portal, the eVisa is granted to citizens of a specific list of eligible countries, who obtain their visa electronically after entering the required information and making payment by credit or debit card, with a link to download the approved eVisa sent afterward. The eVisa system currently issues the Tourism Visa category only; it does not process applications for Service, Diplomatic, Official, Special, Nansen, Temporary, Mission, Refugee, or July 51 Agreement passport holders, who must apply through the nearest Egyptian Embassy or Consulate. As with all Egypt Visa categories, Egyptian port authorities reserve the right to refuse entry to an eVisa holder without explanation.
Eligibility
Based on the official Egypt e-Visa Portal, applicants must generally:
- Be a citizen of one of the countries listed as eligible on the official portal (which includes most EU member states, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and a range of other nations across the Americas, Asia, and the Gulf).
- Hold a valid passport, generally with at least 6 months’ validity from the date of arrival.
- Not hold a Service, Diplomatic, Official, Special, Nansen, Temporary, Mission, Refugee, or July 51 Agreement passport, as these categories are excluded from the eVisa system.
- Be applying for entry as a tourist, since the eVisa portal currently processes the Tourism Visa category.

| Fee Type | Amount |

The visa fee is collected through the official website using a credit or debit card, after the applicant’s data is registered. The fee is non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application.
