Travelers planning a visit to Egypt should be aware of the recent increase in e-Visa fees. The official e-Visa portal now lists the cost for a single-entry tourist visa at $30, while a multiple-entry visa is set at $65. Previously, these fees were $25 and $60, respectively.
Updated e-Visa Fees for Egypt
This change follows an increase in visa-on-arrival fees, which was implemented on March 1, 2026, at various entry points across Egypt.
Visa Options and Validity
- Single-Entry Visa:
- Cost: $30
- Validity: Three months
- Duration of stay: Up to 30 days
- Multiple-Entry Visa:
- Cost: $65
- Validity: Six months from approval
- Duration of stay: Up to 30 days per entry
Travelers can submit their e-Visa applications through the official Egyptian e-Visa portal. The process requires users to create an account, provide personal details, upload their passport copy, and pay the fee using a credit or debit card. Upon approval, the visa must be downloaded and presented upon arrival in Egypt.
Important Considerations
The e-Visa process provides a convenient option for those wishing to secure their travel authorization prior to departure. However, travelers should keep in mind several important factors:
- A passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of arrival.
- Border officials have the authority to refuse entry even with an approved e-Visa.
- A printed copy of the e-Visa may be requested during border inspections.
As Egypt continues to welcome tourists, understanding the updated e-Visa fees and requirements is essential for a smooth travel experience.
