Most travelers and guests to Egypt can acquire a passage visa at any of the airplane terminals or ports of section. All non native touching base in Egypt ought to have a substantial visa (with no less than 6 months left before expiry) to get a section visa.

There are three types of Egyptian visa

The visa will cost you around $15 and in the wake of purchasing it; you simply stick in any void page on your international ID. Try not to stress; it’s so natural! When you have purchased your visa you then remain in line to get your identification stamped by the officer. The visa is essentially a stamp (like a mail or postage stamp) that you purchase from the visa office, at the port of passage just before the migration corner.

The Egyptian powers want to supplant visas on landing with an electronic framework. This was initially going to be executed in May 2015, however has been deferred. But till now it is still conceivable to acquire a visa on entry. When the progressions have been made, travelers going with a visit administrator will in any case have the capacity to get a visa on landing, yet free voyagers will need to request a visa ahead of time.

 The due date was deferred to quit issuing on-entry visas for solitary voyagers until the formation of an electronic visa framework, after commentators said the move could harm tourism. Government authorities said that beginning from May 15 on-entry visas would be allowed just to gatherings going with visit administrators. Solitary explorers would be obliged to request visas at Egyptian departments, in a move went for supporting outskirt security.

There is a huge confusion between tourists of some countries can enter to the Egyptian lands without the requirement of obtaining a visa like United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Turkey, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, China, and India as exempting them from the obtain of a visa to enter Egypt was to contribute doubling the tourism movement .

The legislature has now chosen that the due date to quit issuing on-entry visas for solitary explorers will be postponed until the production of an electronic visa framework - for which it gave no timetable.

"The reason for this gauge is to sort out the procedure of non natives entering the nation inside of a structure that regards national power, considers national security, and in the meantime does not influence tourism," the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in an announcement.

For example: in January, 2015 and being the most frequent visitor to Egypt, The Ministry of Tourism, in coordination with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made a decision to exempt temporarily the Russian tourists from paying visa to Egypt price, from January 15 to April 30 of 2015, following a decline in the Russian ruble's exchange rate against the US dollar. The decline in value of the Russian currency against the dollar, the negative impact on the Russian tourist traffic to Egypt, and the number of flights fell by almost half, compared with previous years.

The most recent choice implies that free voyagers will even now have the capacity to get a US$25 visa upon landing in Cairo and Luxor. So, now the Russian tourists however are expected to pay the price of entry visa to Egypt, which is estimated at US $ 25.

So, sooner or later you will be obliged to acquire a visa from an Egyptian office or Embassy before your flight from your nations of origin.
