Getting to Egypt

Arriving by Sea:

Although Egypt has many ports situated both on the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, the number of passengers arriving in Egypt by boats or ferries has greatly decreased because of cheap airfare and package holidays that use air travel. There is only one exception to this: the crossing by ferry from Aqaba, Jordan to Nuweiba in Sinai. The boats that used to sail directly from Greece or Cyprus to Egypt's Mediterranean ports no longer exist.

Most means of entering Egypt by sea are no longer open, Ferries from Italy, Cyprus, and Greece are no longer working, and several cruise lines are operating in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, which stop at various ports in Egypt and Jordan. Cairo Top Tours is happy to offer short private tours for cruise passengers passing quickly through Egypt or Jordan, who do not wish to use the tour services offered by the cruise companies. Passengers will be granted a visa by the port authorities at the point of their arrival and tours will begin from there. Please take a look at the Shore Excursions section of our website if you are planning a cruise that will come to Egypt. Our specialist in Egyptology will provide you with a lot of information about the history of Egypt or the historical sites. 

Possessing a historical background along with cultural richness and a lot of fascinating places, Egypt is a country that most tourists wish to explore. No matter whether it's the Great Pyramids that you want to climb, taking a Nile cruise, or just walking in the crowded markets, the first place on the list of your adventure should be heading towards Egypt. In this travel guide, we will deal with how best to prepare for the Egyptian visa application so that you don’t experience delays in your travel plans.

 

How To Get A Visa To Egypt: Available Types and Their Functions. Before applying for any visa, it is worth finding out the types of visas first, because one will determine his or her visa type depending on the reasons for wanting to go to Egypt.

Tourist Visa: The everyday diet of the majority of the people is mostly travel. A tourism visa can be defined as a type of visa that allows individuals to enter a country for non-business purposes, such as visiting places as well as learning about their historical background. Hence, this kind of visa for travel can be issued either on a minor or major excursion, depending on her reason for going out of the country.

Commercial Visa: This category of visa is applicable where a person traveling to Egypt will be engaged in any form of work or business in that country. Separate approval is needed for persons going to host meetings, conferences, or to network with companies in Egypt.

Student Visa: This particular visa is granted to persons who intend to pursue their studies in one of the Egyptian educational bodies. 

To use this type of visa, one has to be enrolled in an accredited program.

Work Visa: If your plan is to work in Egypt for an extended period of time, you will be required to request a work visa. This generally also means that one will have to endorse a labor contract with an Egyptian company.

 

There are many ways to get a visa for travel to Egypt, irrespective of the country the traveler comes from.

Method 1: Get a visa for Cruising Entry 

As one of the countries that offer this facility, a visa can be pierced at one of the airports in Egypt on arrival. The job is not so hard.

Requirements:
The passport shall remain valid for at least 6 months after the arrival date.
Visa fee in cash: Around 25 dollars for one entry visa.


Steps:
Complete a short application form at the airport.
The fee is to be paid in cash, rendering only the following currencies: US dollars, Euros, or Rwandan francs.
You will be issued a visa that will allow you entry into the country for a period not exceeding 30 days.

Option 2: E-Visa

In order to improve the tourist experience for both tourists and business visitors, the Egyptian authorities have initiated the e-visa system. This option gives permission for one to ask for his/her visa to be given before he/she travels, which is even better. 

Minimum Requirements: Passport, which has at least six months before expiry. Digital copy of biographical pages of the applicant's passport. Payment of Visa fees using credit/debit cards.

Procedures to be followed when applying for an e-Visa: Visit the official website to apply for an e-visa to Egypt. Fill out the online application table with personal information and a travel timetable. Attach the required documents and process payment (generally, $25 for single entry and $60 for double entry). 

The address provided in the e-Visa application shall receive the e-Visa within a day or two or three to seven days. Besides, ensure that the hard copy of the e-Visa is also included in the documents for the trip and is shown when entering the country of travel to Egypt. E-Visa allows travel within 90 days, with each entry issued during its validity allowing a stay of up to 30 days.

Option 3: Visa at an Egyptian Embassy or Consulate

For tourists who wish to have their visa arranged beforehand or for those not qualified for the e-visa or visa on arrival, visiting an Egyptian embassy or consulate is a standard procedure.

Requirements:

  • A passport that is not less than 6 months valid;
  • filled out the visa application form;
  • recent passport-size photographs;
  • flight and accommodation details (or explain how you will be housed);
  • evidence of enough money to cover your stay;
  • visa charge (depends on the nationality and the visa requested).

Steps:

Be sure to get in touch with the closest embassy or consulate of Egypt to ascertain the exact requisites they might have. 

Unless otherwise indicated by the embassy, file your application either through a personal visit or by post.

About 5 to 10 working days after submission, the visa will be processed and granted.

 

 

 Visa Validity and Duration of Stay

Normally, a tourist visa is issued for a duration of 90 days from the date of issuance. In practical terms, however, no tourist is allowed to stay in Egypt for more than 30 days.

On the other hand, if you want to prolong your stay within this country, there is an option of extending your visa at the Egyptian Passport and Immigration office in Cairo, which is a long and tedious process.

 

You will need a multiple-entry visa to Egypt, when you want to combine Egypt and another countries like Jordan and then back to Egypt to discover Egypt travel packages with your family and partners. In the event that you intend to travel to Jordan or Israel, which are adjacent nations, and then come back to Egypt, it is smart to get a multiple-entry visa. Doing this will prevent you from having to apply for a new visa each time you enter.
