Do I need a visa for Egypt from Israel?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Israeli passport holders need a visa for Egypt; the simplest route is the tourist e-Visa applied for online before departure.
Egypt does not grant visa-free entry to Israeli nationals. The recommended option is the electronic visa (e-Visa) requested on the official portal visa2egypt.gov.eg. Depending on the point of entry a visa on arrival may also exist, but the e-Visa avoids queues.
Do you need a visa?
Yes: a traveller holding an Israeli passport must obtain a visa before entering Egypt for tourism. The single- or multiple-entry e-Visa covers short stays. The passport should remain valid for at least six months beyond the arrival date.
How and where to apply
The application is completed entirely online at the government portal visa2egypt.gov.eg, with no in-person visit required. You create an account, enter your travel details and upload the requested documents. The Egyptian consulate in Israel remains an alternative if you prefer a traditional submission.
Documents and fees
Prepare an Israeli passport valid for six months, a compliant photo, an address of accommodation in Egypt and usually proof of a return flight. The exact fee is not confirmed here: rely on the amount shown during the application on the official portal. Pay only through the government platform to avoid intermediaries.
Processing and tips
Because processing time is not guaranteed, file your application several business days before travelling. Print the e-Visa confirmation and present it with your passport on arrival. Also check any health requirements, such as yellow fever if you transit through a risk area.
Common mistakes
Typical pitfalls: using a third-party site instead of the official portal, entering a name that does not exactly match the passport, or travelling with a passport valid for less than six months. Do not leave without re-checking the entry conditions on the official source, which can change.
