What do I need to apply for the eVisa to Egypt?

To apply for the Egypt eVisa you need to meet certain requirements and provide a series of documents. Below are the essential documents and some additional aspects to consider during the application process:

1. Required Documentation:

• Scanned Copy of Passport. You must submit a scanned copy of your passport. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the planned date of entry into Egypt. The copy has to be clear and legible, including all relevant pages with personal information. 
• Recent Passport-size photograph. The photo must meet international standards for official document photographs: white background, full face visible, no accessories covering the face, and neutral expression.
  
  

2. Visa Conditions:

• No valid visa. To apply for the Egypt eVisa, you must not have any valid Egyptian visa at the time of application. If you have an active visa, you must wait for it to expire before applying for a new eVisa. 
  
  

3. Travel Information:

• Travel itinerary. Even though it is not always a required document, it is recommended to have a detailed travel itinerary that includes entry and exit dates from Egypt, as well as information about the places you plan to visit. This can be useful in case authorities require more information about your trip. 
• Accommodation booking. It is helpful to have a confirmed reservation of your accommodation in Egypt. It can be a hotel, hostel, or an invitation letter if you are staying with friends or family. This document may be requested during the application process to verify your accommodation plans.
  
  

Additional Tips:

• Review of documents. Before submitting your application, carefully review all documents and information provided to avoid errors that may delay the process. 
• Confirmation of receipt: After submitting your application, you will receive a confirmation email. Keep this email, as it will contain important information about the status of your application and may be required for further follow-up.
• Processing Time: The processing time for the eVisa can vary, but it usually takes 3 to 7 business days. Apply for your eVisa well in advance to avoid last-minute delays.
