How tourist visas work for most visitors, and what to check before you fly.
By the Egypt Knight Tours team · Updated September 2026 · 2 min read
Many nationalities can get an Egypt tourist visa on arrival or through the official e-visa portal. Rules and fees change and depend on your passport, so always confirm current requirements before you fly.
What to check before you travel
Check Egypt's official e-visa website or your nearest embassy for your nationality. Your passport should have at least six months of validity, and it is worth carrying a printed copy of your booking and hotel details.
