Keeping a printed visa confirmation or e-visa approval alongside a passport, rather than relying solely on a phone screenshot, avoids complications if a device loses battery or signal at the immigration desk.

Most Western travelers, including citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the European Union, can obtain an Egyptian visa on arrival at major airports or apply in advance through the official e-visa portal.
