Yes — Pakistani citizens need a visa to enter Egypt. Egypt is not a visa-free or visa-on-arrival destination that Pakistani passport holders can rely on, so you should arrange your visa before you fly. The most convenient option is the online tourist e-Visa, an electronic visa requested entirely online and emailed to you as a PDF. There is no embassy appointment to attend and no visa sticker to collect in person.
The e-Visa is intended for short visits such as tourism, sightseeing, and visiting friends or family, and it is also a popular choice for travellers combining an Egypt stopover with a wider trip. You can review the destination on our Egypt travel hub or go straight to the Egypt tourist e-Visa page. Because some Pakistani applicants may be subject to additional checks, the safest approach is to apply early with a complete, accurate set of documents.
Egypt offers the tourist e-Visa in two formats, and choosing the right one depends on how many times you plan to enter the country. A single-entry e-Visa lets you enter Egypt once, while a multiple-entry e-Visa lets you come and go several times within its validity — useful if you plan a regional itinerary that returns to Egypt. Use this comparison to choose the option that fits your trip:
| Feature | Single-entry e-Visa | Multiple-entry e-Visa |
|---|---|---|
| Number of entries | One entry only | Several entries |
| Validity from issue | 90 days | 180 days |
| Stay per visit | Up to 30 days | Up to 30 days per visit |
| Best for | A single, straightforward trip | Trips that re-enter Egypt |
The tourist e-Visa is intended for Pakistani citizens making a short visit to Egypt, whether for tourism, sightseeing, or visiting friends and relatives. Each traveller needs their own e-Visa tied to their own passport — there is no group or family visa, so every person who will travel must hold an individual authorization.
The e-Visa covers the typical reasons Pakistanis visit Egypt — holidays to the Pyramids and the Nile, Red Sea beach stays, and short business or family trips, including itineraries combined with an Umrah journey via the region. If your plans involve long-term work, study, or residence rather than a short visit, the tourist e-Visa is not the right document, and you should confirm the correct visa category before you travel.
The e-Visa is requested online, but Egypt still expects you to meet its entry conditions, and complete documents help you avoid additional checks. Have the following ready before you apply, and keep them available for the airline and for immigration on arrival:
Flights from Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad typically connect via Gulf hubs, so factor connection times into your plans and apply at least 7 days before departure — earlier if you can — to leave room for any extra checks.
For Pakistani applicants, the tourist e-Visa is commonly processed within a few business days, with the approval emailed as a PDF. Apply at least 7 days before travel, and earlier if your dates allow, because some Pakistani applicants may be selected for additional verification or eligibility checks that can take longer. The best practice is never to leave the application to the last moment: a complete, accurate submission with consistent details is the quickest path to approval. If any extra information is requested, respond promptly so your visa is not held up.
The two e-Visa formats have different validity windows. A single-entry e-Visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue and allows a single stay of up to 30 days. A multiple-entry e-Visa is valid for 180 days from issue and allows several entries, each for a stay of up to 30 days per visit. The validity period is the window in which you must enter Egypt; it is not the same as the length of your stay. Your e-Visa is tied to the specific passport you used to apply, so if you renew or replace your passport, you will need to apply for a new e-Visa linked to the current document.
An approved e-Visa lets you board your flight, but admission to Egypt is confirmed at the border only once an immigration officer is satisfied you meet the entry conditions. Be ready on arrival to present your valid Pakistani passport with 6+ months validity, your printed e-Visa, a return or onward ticket, proof of confirmed accommodation, and evidence of sufficient funds for your stay. Carrying these in an easy-to-reach folder — printed and on your phone — makes the arrival process faster and reduces the chance of follow-up questions.
An approved e-Visa allows you to board your flight, but the final decision to enter Egypt rests with the immigration officer on arrival. Present the same passport you used to apply, along with your printed e-Visa, and be ready to explain the purpose and length of your visit, where you will stay, and that you have the means to support your trip. Provided your documents are in order and consistent with your application, the officer will admit you and you can begin your stay — whether that is heading to the Pyramids, boarding a Nile cruise, or travelling on to Luxor, Aswan or the Red Sea.
Every traveller needs their own e-Visa, including children and infants, because each one is linked to an individual passport. A parent or guardian can complete the application on a child's behalf using the child's own passport details. If you are travelling as a Pakistani family, submit a separate application for each member, choose the same entry type for everyone on the trip, and make sure each child's accommodation, return ticket and supporting documents are covered just as they are for the adults.

Processing is commonly completed within a few business days, with the approval sent by email as a PDF. Some Pakistani applicants may face additional verification, so apply at least 7 days before travel and earlier if you can.
