Do French citizens need an eVisa when transiting through Egypt?

If they plan to enter Egypt during transit, they must meet standard entry requirements.

Can French citizens extend their stay in Egypt?

Yes, French travelers can extend their stay in Egypt, but not online. Travelers must apply for a tourist visa extension in person at the General Administration of Passports, Immigration and Nationality office in Abbassia, Cairo. Extensions are typically granted for up to three months, though longer stays may be requested depending on individual circumstances. To apply, you’ll need your passport, copies of your passport and current visa, and usually a passport photo. First-time applicants may also be asked to provide proof of accommodation and sufficient funds. It’s recommended to arrive early (around 7:00–7:30 a.m.) to secure a ticket, as the process involves submitting documents, completing forms, and paying a fee.
