A step-by-step look at the visa, immigration, and customs process on arrival at Cairo International Airport. Egypt Rest Tours put this guide together from real client questions and years of on-the-ground experience across the country.

A standard Egyptian tourist visa is valid for a single entry of up to thirty days, though multiple-entry visas valid for extended stays are available for travelers planning side trips to neighboring countries.

Travelers arriving specifically at Sharm El Sheikh, Taba, or other Sinai-only entry points may receive a free Sinai-only stamp rather than a full Egyptian visa, which restricts travel to the Sinai Peninsula alone.

Passports presented for an Egyptian visa should generally have at least six months of validity remaining beyond the planned travel dates, a common requirement enforced at immigration checkpoints.
