Egypt entry requirements: COVID-19 protocols

The COVID-19 pandemic, while controlled and no longer a global health emergency, continues to influence travel protocols worldwide. Egypt, in response, has adapted its entry requirements to balance safety with ease of travel.

COVID-19 vaccine requirements

COVID-19 vaccination isn’t a requirement for entry into Egypt. However, it’s strongly recommended for travelers to be fully vaccinated. This not only ensures personal safety but also helps protect others and reduce the spread of the virus.

Quarantine requirements

Egypt doesn’t impose mandatory quarantine on arriving travelers. This policy is subject to change based on the global COVID-19 situation, so staying updated close to your travel date is advisable.

COVID-19 testing

Currently, travelers aren’t required to present a negative COVID-19 test to enter Egypt. Also, there’s no testing on arrival, neither PCR nor antigen test.

In case of suspected COVID-19

  • If you suspect you have contracted COVID-19 while in Egypt, seek medical advice immediately.

  • Follow local guidelines, including isolation and undergoing a COVID-19 test at a local health facility.

  • Testing facilities are available in major cities across Egypt if you require a test.

  • Before travel, purchase medical insurance. It may be valuable in circumstances like this.

Egypt vaccine requirements

While specific COVID-19 vaccine requirements aren’t mandatory for entry into Egypt, travelers should be aware of other recommended vaccinations. These include routine vaccines such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, and rabies, especially if you plan to be in close contact with animals.

Check the Egypt vaccination requirements for a detailed list of recommended vaccines.

Egypt visa requirement

An Egypt visa is mandatory for most travelers visiting Egypt. Fortunately, the Egypt eVisa has simplified the application process. This electronic visa is available to visitors from eligible countries, and you can conveniently get it online before your trip.
