Egypt e-Visa is an electronic entry visa, issued by the Egyptian government, that allows citizens of eligible countries to apply for their visa online for tourism and business purposes.
The electronic visa for Egypt was introduced in 2017 to help travelers visit Egypt in an easier way using an online visa application system. The electronic visa eliminates the need for the costly and time-consuming procedures associated with the Embassy visas of the past.
The online application process consists of three simple steps and can be done within minutes from home.
Applicants need to fill out a quick form, cover the e-Visa issuing fee, and wait for the approved document to be delivered. Once processed, Egypt e-Visa is delivered to the applicant's email inbox as a PDF file that can be later on printed.
There are two types of Egyptian e-Visa available; there is a single-entry visa and a multiple-entry visa. The single-entry e-Visa stays valid for three months and allows one 30-day stay, while the multiple-entry one enables numerous 30-day visits within a 6-month long validity period.
