The information below concerns travelers who are nationals of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and Canada traveling to Egypt for a tourist stay. As entry requirements may change, we recommend verifying the information with the official authorities before your departure.

Passport

To enter Egypt, your passport must be valid for a minimum of six months beyond your entry date and must contain at least one blank page for immigration stamps and visa affixing.
The document must be in good condition (no damaged, torn, or altered pages).

Tourist Visa

Nationals of the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and Canada are required to obtain a visa to enter Egypt. Several options are available:

E-visa (electronic visa): You can apply online before departure through the official portal of the Egyptian authorities. This visa is generally granted for a tourist stay of up to 30 days and can be single-entry or multiple-entry depending on the option selected.

Visa on arrival: Available at most Egyptian international airports (Cairo, Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, etc.), it permits a stay of up to 30 days. Its issuance is subject to payment of fees in foreign currency (generally in US dollars or euros).

The authorities may also require:

• an outbound ticket (return or onward flight),

• proof of sufficient financial resources for the duration of your stay,

• a hotel booking confirmation for the duration of your trip.

Health and Vaccinations

No vaccination is mandatory to enter Egypt from the EEA, Switzerland, or Canada under normal conditions. However, certain vaccinations are recommended:

• routine vaccinations up to date (diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, measles),

• hepatitis A and hepatitis B,

• typhoid, particularly if traveling outside the main tourist areas.

It is advisable to consult a doctor or international vaccination center at least four to six weeks before departure.

Traveling with Children

Minors must hold their own valid passport covering the duration of the stay as well as a valid visa.

In some European countries, when a minor travels without one of their parents, an exit authorization may be required according to the regulations of the country of residence.

Other Nationalities

Entry conditions may vary depending on nationality. Travelers concerned should inquire with the Embassy or Consulate of Egypt in their country of residence.
