Egypt Tourist Visa
The Egypt Tourist Visa is issued by the Arab Republic of Egypt to foreign nationals travelling for recreational and sightseeing purposes. According to the official Egypt e-Visa Portal, operated by the Ministry of Interior, the Tourism Visa is issued for single or multiple entries to persons whose nationalities require a visa to enter Egypt. Depending on nationality, travellers can obtain this visa through the official e-Visa portal in advance, as a Visa on Arrival at Egyptian international airports, or through an Egyptian Embassy or Consulate abroad. Business activities are not permitted while admitted to Egypt as a tourist. As with all Egypt Visa categories, the final decision on entry rests solely with Egyptian port authorities, who reserve the right to refuse entry to an e-Visa holder without explanation.
Eligibility
Based on the official Egypt e-Visa Portal and Egyptian consular guidance, applicants for a Tourist Visa must generally:
- Be a foreign national travelling to Egypt for tourism, recreation, or sightseeing.
- Be a national of a country listed as eligible on the Egypt e-Visa Portal, or otherwise apply through an Egyptian Embassy or Consulate.
- Hold a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival, with an empty visa page.
- Provide a travel itinerary and, where applicable, hotel bookings or details of places to visit.

Visa on Arrival, where available for the applicant’s nationality, is issued directly at the airport, typically within 15 to 30 minutes. Consulate-issued Tourist Visas may take longer; applicants should confirm the specific processing timeline with the relevant Egyptian Embassy or Consulate.
