Egypt visa checklist for Indian applicants

Indian citizens need a visa for Egypt and are eligible to apply online through the government e-Visa portal. The portal issues the e-Visa, and the passport officer at the border checks supporting papers on arrival. For tourists those papers are a travel itinerary and hotel bookings or details of the places to be visited.

Questions

Egypt visa FAQ

Does Egypt ask for a flight reservation for a visa?

The e-Visa portal asks travellers to carry a travel itinerary on arrival. A flight reservation showing your arrival and departure dates serves that purpose; a paid ticket is not specifically named.

Do I need a hotel booking for the Egypt e-Visa?

For tourists the portal lists hotel bookings or details of the places to be visited. A booking is the simplest way to meet this.

When should I book flights and hotels for Egypt?

Have them ready before you fly, since they are checked at the border rather than uploaded as visa approval evidence. Dates on the itinerary, the hotel booking and the e-Visa should agree.

Are Indian citizens eligible for the Egypt e-Visa?

Yes. India appears on the portal's list of eligible nationalities, with single-entry and multiple-entry options.
