Visa Details

Indian ordinary-passport holders can apply for an Egypt tourist eVisa through the official portal before travel. The portal instructs applicants to apply at least 7 days before departure; this is not a guaranteed processing time. It lists a passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival, an eVisa printout, an itinerary and accommodation details among arrival documents. Egypt's Tourism Authority describes a separate tourist visa-on-arrival route for holders of a valid and previously used US, UK or Schengen visa. An Egyptian government publication also describes an arrival route for Indian tourists with GCC residence. The exact current nationality, residence-validity and entry-point conditions should be confirmed with Egyptian authorities and the airline before relying on an arrival exception. For airside transit, remain in the international transit area and confirm the connection with the airline; the consular guidance does not establish a 48-hour visa-free limit.
