Egypt eVisa for Indians

Egypt eVisa was introduced in 2017 by the Egyptian Government to facilitate and speed up the visa application process. The Egyptian electronic visa system is constantly extended by new eligible countries, including India, whose citizens can obtain a visa to Egypt entirely online.

Egypt eVisa for Indians functions as an equivalent to a regular Egyptian tourist visa but requires no visits to Embassy or other diplomatic posts. The entire application can be completed from the comfort of the applicant's home using an Internet-accessed electronic device.

The online form consists only of 3 very intuitive steps, and it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to submit the Egyptian visa application. Once approved, the electronic visa in PDF form will be delivered to the email inbox. Together with your visa, you will also receive the authorization letter. The printed copies of these documents will enable you to enter Egypt hassle-free.

Please remember to apply for an Egypt tourist visa at least 7 business days before your planned trip to receive your visa on time!
