Get the Egypt visa for Indian citizens

Yes, Indian citizens need a visa to enter Egypt for tourism. They must apply in advance for an Egypt eVisa, either a single-entry or a multiple-entry visa, before traveling. Airlines may deny boarding without an approved visa, so travelers should ensure they receive their eVisa approval prior to departure.

This depends on the document you're applying for.

• Egypt eVisa (Single or Multiple Entry): With iVisa, you can get the Egypt eVisa in as little as 5 days, depending on your application details and documentation. Applications may take longer if additional review is required or during peak travel seasons, so applying well in advance is recommended.

Both Egypt eVisa options allow stays of up to 30 days per entry, but their validity periods differ:

• Egypt eVisa (90 days, Single entry): Valid for 90 days from issuance and allows one entry with a maximum stay of 30 days.
• Egypt eVisa (180 days, Multiple entry): Valid for 180 days from issuance and allows multiple entries, each permitting a stay of up to 30 days. The final authorized stay is determined by Egyptian immigration officers at the port of entry. Overstaying may result in fines that must be paid before departure.

Indian passport holders who remain in the international transit area and do not pass through immigration control generally do not need a transit visa. However, if leaving the airport or clearing immigration, a valid Egyptian visa is required. Transit policies may also depend on the airline and layover duration.

Egypt eVisas cannot be extended online. Travelers who wish to remain beyond their 30-day authorized stay must apply in person at an Egyptian immigration office before their visa expires. Approval is discretionary and may require supporting documentation. Overstaying without approval can result in fines and possible complications for future travel to Egypt.
