Egypt e-Visa: Official Portal, USD $30 and $65 Fees (2026)

Check eligibility first

The official FAQ lists the nationalities currently eligible to use the eVisa. The portal is not open to every passport, and starting an application before checking that list is how people end up paying for a route they cannot use.

What it costs

Current tourism fees on the government portal are USD 30 for single entry and USD 65 for multiple entry.

Those are the amounts the portal itself charges. Two single-entry visas cost more than one multiple-entry visa, so choose based on the trip rather than on the smaller number.

Apply at least 7 days before departure

The portal says to create the application at least 7 days before departure. Treat that as the floor rather than the plan, because the approval and the download link arrive by email and email timing is not something you control.

A payment confirmation on its own is not an approved eVisa. Wait for the approval message.

Visa on arrival is a different product

The host on that link is the Egyptian Embassy in Washington’s own site, not a government suffix, so read it as embassy guidance rather than as an application portal.

It states that travellers on the pre-approval list cannot obtain a visa on arrival, that Bangladeshi nationals require a visa before entry, and that airlines should confirm boarding eligibility.

The practical version: the eVisa is the predictable pre-travel route for passports on the portal’s list. Visa on arrival depends on the passport and the port, and it is not something to assume.

What the border asks for

The FAQ’s entry checklist is short:

• passport valid at least 6 months from arrival;
• a printed eVisa;
• an itinerary;
• a supporting letter for a business or family visit;
• hotel booking or accommodation details for tourism.

Before you pay

Check the address bar. The government portal is visa2egypt.gov.eg, ending in .gov.eg, and the fees it charges are USD 30 and USD 65.
