FAQs
Do US citizens need a visa to visit Egypt?
Yes. U.S. citizens are required to obtain a visa before traveling to Egypt. The eVisa is the most convenient option — applied for entirely online, no embassy visit needed. You can also obtain a visa on arrival at major Egyptian airports, but the eVisa is faster and avoids long queues.
How long can I stay in Egypt with an eVisa?
The Egypt tourist eVisa allows a stay of up to 30 days per entry. The visa itself is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, meaning you must enter Egypt within that 90-day window. If you need to stay longer, you can apply for an extension at an Egyptian immigration office.
Can I visit both Cairo and the Red Sea resorts on one eVisa?
Yes. A single Egypt eVisa covers the entire country — Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, the Sinai Peninsula, and Red Sea resorts like Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh are all accessible under the same visa. Note that the Sinai Peninsula's Taba area has specific border-entry rules; eGovRush recommends flying into Cairo or Hurghada for the most straightforward entry.
What is the Egypt eVisa fee?
The Egyptian government charges $25 USD for a single-entry tourist eVisa. This government fee is separate from eGovRush's service fee, which covers application review, submission, and ongoing status monitoring.
