UAE residents planning trips to Cairo, Luxor, or the Red Sea usually choose between Egypts e-visa, visa on arrival for eligible travelers, or a consular application for special purposes. Start by matching your passport nationality and trip type to the correct route.
Eligibility may cover many GCC residents and holders of valid UK, US, or Schengen visas or residencies, but airport practices and airline checks can differ. If any condition is unclear, apply online instead.
Costs vary by single or multiple entry and by application channel. E-visa processing is usually several working days; consular timing depends on category and season. Apply early and avoid non-refundable bookings until approval.
Strengthen files with a host invitation in Egypt, meeting agenda, and your UAE employers license or registration; ensure purpose and dates align across documents.
Border officers may verify your e-visa approval, funds, hotel, and return ticket. Respect stay limits and seek extensions only through competent offices to avoid penalties.
Entry policies change and depend on your nationality and purpose. This guide is informational and not legal advice. Verify requirements with official Egyptian authorities before you apply.
Many do under specific conditions, including certain nationalities and holders of valid UK, US, or Schengen visas or GCC residencies. Because rules vary by airport and airline, the safer option is applying for the e-visa in advance if you are unsure.
Eligibility is nationality-based, not residence-based. Many nationalities living in the UAE can apply online, but you should confirm on the official e-visa portal before paying.
Processing can take several working days and some official guidance recommends applying at least one week before travel. Timelines vary by season, so apply early.
A passport valid six months beyond entry, compliant photo, completed form, return ticket, accommodation proof, financial evidence, and strong travel insurance. Business travelers add an invitation and company documents.
Fees depend on single vs multiple entry and application channel. Validity and permitted stay are defined by visa type. Pay only on official portals or at authorized centers and retain receipts.
Extensions may be possible at competent offices in Egypt but are discretionary. Plan conservatively to avoid overstays, which can lead to fines or exit delays.
Citizens of the UAE may have different entry options than expatriate residents. Always check the official portal or Egyptian consulate for rules that match your passport nationality.
