A typical file includes an application form, photographs, evidence of accommodation, financial resources and insurance. The consular authority can confirm required formats, any additional documents and applicable rules. For any fees, rely only on the official portal or the relevant embassy.

Book an appointment with the relevant embassy or consulate before departure. Complete the required application form and submit your file in line with the consular authority’s instructions. Confirm appointment arrangements and application steps through the official portal or directly with the embassy.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Egypt, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Egypt but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing times vary depending on the embassy or consulate and the review of the application. Apply sufficiently ahead of travel and follow official instructions carefully. It is recommended not to purchase tickets before the visa has been granted. The associated permitted stay is 180 days.

Do not book an appointment too late or submit an incomplete file. Check that accommodation, financial resource and insurance evidence meets the requirements communicated by the consular authority. Do not buy tickets before receiving the visa, and do not assume that requirements remain unchanged.
