Entry/Exit Requirements
"A passport and visa are required. Travelers can obtain a renewable
thirty-day tourist visa on arrival at an Egyptian airport for a
$15 fee, payable in U.S. dollars. Visitors arriving overland and/or
those previously experiencing difficulty with their visa status
in Egypt should obtain a visa prior to arrival. Travelers arriving
from Israel at the Taba border crossing are advised to obtain a
visa prior to their arrival, otherwise they are granted either a
no-fee, fourteen-day visa valid for travel within Sinai only, or
they may buy a thirty-day tourist visa for $15 upon submission of
a travel agency support letter. The letters are obtainable from
travel agents at the border, however, their fees for providing this
service vary. Military personnel arriving on commercial flights
are not exempt from passport and visa requirements.
Proof of yellow fever immunization is required if arriving from
an infected area." - US State Dept.
All visitors must register with immigration or with the police
within 7 days of arrival. Failure to do so will result in a fine
upon departure. Hotels or tour operators will perform the registration
for you. If you plan to register yourself, register at the Mugamma
Building in Cairo. The process takes only a few minutes and there
is no charge except at the police stations. You may be able to secure
a visa upon arrival at most airports, however it is not recommended
to arrive at a border overland without a visa.
