The official Egypt e-Visa portal
The portal identifies itself as the Arab Republic of Egypt Electronic Visa Portal and carries the Ministry of Interior copyright. It requires an account, an online form and card payment 1.
The portal says to create the application at least seven days before departure. Approval arrives by email and the traveller must print the e-Visa 1.
Official visa fees
The official FAQ lists US$25 for a single-entry tourism e-Visa and US$60 for a multiple-entry tourism e-Visa 2.
Eligible travellers can buy a physical visa on arrival at approved airport kiosks for US$30 cash. UK travel advice says airport agents often charge more and are not required 3.
How to avoid an overcharge
- Type visa2egypt.gov.eg or follow an Egyptian government or embassy link 1.
- Choose the entry type before paying and compare the amount with the official FAQ 2.
- Do not pay an airport agent for a service you do not need 3.
- Keep the portal email and print the approved e-Visa 1.
- Treat a promise of guaranteed admission as false. Entry remains subject to the border authority 4.
If you paid another provider
Check your email and official account to see whether an application exists. A private provider may have submitted a real application after adding a fee.
Ask the provider for an itemised receipt. Contact your card issuer if a fee was hidden or no application was delivered. Do not name a private provider as fraudulent without an official finding.
