Canadian Travelers Eligible for the Egypt eVisa
To simplify travel and boost tourism, Egypt has expanded its electronic visa system to include Canadian citizens. Starting 1 December 2024, Canadians can obtain an Egyptian eVisa. This development is part of Egypt's strategy to attract more international visitors.
The introduction of the eVisa system for Canadians is driven by Egypt's goal to enhance accessibility for tourists. After the pandemic, Egypt has been focused on reviving its tourism industry. Streamlining visa procedures is seen as a key step to making Egypt a more appealing destination.
For Canadian travelers, the eVisa eliminates the need to visit an Egyptian consulate or embassy in person, saving time. The online visa application process is faster and more convenient, allowing tourists to plan their trips with ease. It allows visiting Egypt for up to 30 days with a single-entry or multiple-entry visa.
Apply for the Egypt eVisa
Applying for the Egypt eVisa is simple and can be done entirely online.
- Complete the application form. Provide personal details, passport information, travel dates, and the purpose of your visit.
- Upload the required documents. You need a scanned copy of your passport (valid for at least 6 months) and a recent photo.
- Pay the processing fee. Payment is made online using a credit or debit card. Other payment methods are also available.
- Receive the eVisa via email. After processing, the visa will be sent to your email. You’ll need to print it and present it upon arrival.
The documents required to get an Egyptian electronic visa include a valid Canadian passport with at least six months remaining validity. Apart from that, only a digital passport-size photo presenting the applicant’s face is needed.
This streamlined process makes Egypt more accessible to Canadian tourists, encouraging exploration of the country’s rich history and culture.
