Egypt Visa

There are three types of Egyptian visa:

* Tourist Visa - usually valid for a period not exceeding three months and granted on either a single or multiple entry basis (visas are not chargeable when visiting the Red Sea resorts of Taba and Sharm-el-Sheik)

* Entry Visa - required for any foreigner arriving in Egypt for purposes other than tourism, e.g. work, study, etc. The possession of a valid Entry Visa is needed to complete the residence procedure in Egypt. Entry visas may be obtained from Egyptian Diplomatic and Consular Missions Abroad or from the Entry Visa Department at the Travel Documents, Immigration and Nationality Administration (TDINA).

* Transit Visa

Non-Egyptian travelers are required to have a valid passport for 6 months from date of entry and at least 1 week beyond the expected date of exit.
