Egypt eVisa: tourist planning, documents & online application

The Egypt e-Visa Portal is an online government platform for eligible travellers. It provides account creation, sign-in, application, online payment, processing updates and FAQ/disclaimer information.

The portal states that applicants should create an e-Visa application at least 7 days before departure. This is planning guidance, not a promise that every application will be approved or completed within a fixed period.

Use the passport you will carry, enter accurate information, keep the application reference and verify the final result through the portal before booking or travelling.

Plan before you travel

Egypt eVisa applications should be started before the trip
