Do I need a visa for Egypt from Thailand?
Discover visa requirements for your trip
Thai nationals need a visa for Egypt; the e-Visa is requested online before travel on the official portal.
A Thai traveller cannot enter Egypt for tourism without a visa. The recommended method is the e-Visa, requested on the official visa2egypt.gov.eg portal before departure; a visa on arrival exists at some airports, but prior authorization removes the uncertainty. The passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. Holders of a Thai passport must obtain a visa before entering Egypt. The electronic e-Visa covers tourist stays and is handled entirely online.
How and where to apply
Apply on the official visa2egypt.gov.eg portal: create an account, complete the form, upload your documents and pay online, then receive the e-Visa by email. Alternatively, the Egyptian embassy responsible for Thailand can issue a visa, but the portal is faster.
Documents and fees
Carry a Thai passport valid for at least six months, a photo, a hotel booking and a return ticket. The fee is not fixed here: check the official portal for the current price and payment methods.
Processing and tips
E-Visa processing time varies; submit your application several days before travel. Print the authorization and keep a digital copy, which Egyptian immigration checks.
Common mistakes
Do not rely on visa on arrival alone: conditions can change, and the e-Visa secures your entry. Check that the details you enter match your passport exactly, and confirm the six-month validity requirement.
