Visa Notes
  • The Egypt tourist or business visa is issued for a single entry within three months, for stay of up to 30 days. Multiple entries are issued for business travelers on written request. A double entry visa can be issued for tourists on written request, must show copy of itinerary indicating two entries.
  • The visa may be issued on arrival at most major ports of entry, except land borders, for a tourist stay of up to one week.
  • The visa may be extended, on a monthly basis, by showing receipts for currency exchange at the rate of USD180 per month.
  • All visitors to Egypt must register with immigration/police within seven days of arrival, or face a fine upon departure. Hotels and tour operators will perform the registration, which is evidented by a triangular registration stamp in the passport.
  • If registering yourself, register at the Mugamma building in Cairo. It is a very simple process which usually takes a few minutes at most and is free of charge, (except at police stations). This procedure can be completed in Alexandria at the Passport Registration Office on Sharia Talaat Harb.
  • Special requirements exist for Official and Diplomatic passport holders.

REGISTER YOUR TRIP:

The U.S. Department of State encourages all American travelers to register with their local Embassy or Consulate when arriving in a foreign country. Registration helps the Embassy to provide important services for American citizens residing or traveling abroad. Some of these services include:
  • Locating individuals in cases of family or personal emergencies,
  • Relaying important travel and safety information about the region,
  • Arranging evacuation transportation in cases of natural disaster or civil unrest,
  • Issuing replacement passports when originals are lost, and
  • A number of other administrative services relating to personal documentation.
Without the information provided through registration, the Embassy is severely hindered in its ability to provide these services. Many of these services involve emergency situations and time constraints, therefore failure to register will almost certainly lead to delays at moments when you can least afford them.
