Ports of entry: Egypt eVisa holders may enter through designated international airports and major ports of entry, including Cairo International Airport, Hurghada International Airport, Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, and other approved entry points.

The tourist visa issued by Egyptian embassies or consulates is designed for those traveling for leisure, sightseeing, or visiting family and friends.

If you’re only planning to stay in the Sinai Peninsula, you may be eligible for the Sinai Resort Visa Waiver. This is a free entry stamp issued when you arrive at airports in Sharm El-Sheikh, Taba, or St. Catherine, as well as some land border crossings.
The stamp allows a single entry and is valid for up to 14 days, but it cannot be extended. With this option, you are limited to staying in specific resort areas such as Sharm El-Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba, and Taba, and you cannot travel to other parts of Egypt.
It’s available to travelers of certain nationalities, including US citizens, EU citizens, and Israelis entering through the Taba crossing.
*We currently don’t offer this document; you can receive the entry stamp directly at entry points in Sinai.
For those traveling to Egypt for work-related reasons, such as attending meetings, conferences, or exhibitions, the business visa is the appropriate option.

To apply, you must visit an Egyptian embassy or consulate, where you’ll need to provide an invitation letter from your host in Egypt along with other supporting business documents.
