Egypt

All visitors to Egypt require a Tourist Visa. You have two options in relation to securing a visa. It is each individual's own responsibility to secure a Tourist Visa and to make sure that when you receive it, all details are correct.

Your passport must be valid for 6 months from your return date of travel.  The Egyptian Embassy will not process visa applications should your passport expire within this time frame.

Please note that Egyptian Visas are valid for three months from the date of issue.

Due to heightened security measures, most airlines flying to Egypt require details from your passport - your passport number, expiry date of your passport, place of issue, nationality and date of birth.  If required, The Travel Department may take this information from your passport when it is in our possession.

The Travel Department requires that all tour participants secure a tourist visa prior to departure for Egypt.

This service is only available to clients travelling with The Travel Department.
