LoveToTravel Liana Post Count: 1 Msg: #1 356 days ago, December 5th 2008 | Should I get Egypt Visa before I leave the U.S.A.? Is it easier or any risk getting Egypt Visa at the airport in Cairo when I arrive? Please give advice, thanks. | PA Leslie Pierre-Alexandre Post Count: 865 Msg: #2 356 days ago, December 5th 2008 | For european, it's very easy. You just need to double check with the closest egyptian consulate to see what they sat. It's actually just a sticker that you purchase....a kind of entry tax. | Have fun!

Whatever I got was at the airport in Cairo. I cant remember if it cost me anything. The worst of it was that the immigration queue was very long but smoking in the airport was allowed so that made the waiting in the queue easier. :D I have an Irish passport and it was 10 years ago when I went to Egypt.

To be sure please do check the Egyptian Embassy website - google it and the website should tell you exactly what you need for worry-free travel to Egypt. | deleted_106047 deleted_106047 Post Count: 4 Msg: #5 320 days ago, January 9th 2009 | Dear All, | Its very Easy and that is for sure to get the Visa @ Sharm Airport, HUrghada Airport, and Cairo Airport, I Live in Hurghada as part of my work included sometimes visas for my Real Estate Clients I'm very aware of this point MonicaS Monica Post Count: 17 Msg: #6 204 days ago, May 5th 2009 | I am coming to Spain first and then Egypt. I am from Argentina. Do you think I need to get the visa here? How much dollars or euros does it costs? Thx | The Travel Camel Shane Dallas Post Count: 1027 Msg: #7 204 days ago, May 5th 2009 | Normally, you can get a visa at the airport, it is a very easy process. | However, check with the Egyptian Embassy in Argentina (if there is one) as you may need to purchase yours in advance. There are different rules for different nationalities. marlboroeg SHEREEF Post Count: 4 Msg: #8 183 days ago, May 26th 2009 | YES you can get a visa at the airport, it is a very easy process , UR WELCOME TOY EGYPT | MonicaS Monica Post Count: 17 Msg: #9 183 days ago, May 27th 2009 | Thx marlboroeg | If you tell me that I won´t care about. The consulate today told me with an answering machine that all citizans must get a visa to go and it takes 48 hours to get it. If it is easier at the airport of Cairo and I won´t be rejected from the country I love best in my life, it's ok. hahahah The visa here costs U$ 35. Do you know the cost there?

With an argentinian passport, it should not be an issue. Actually, I consider this more like a tax than a visa per se...as what you do is give them the cash and they give you a sticker to put in your passport, no questions asked. But the best is to call the Egyptian embassy in Buenos Aires...they are the ONLY ones who will give you up-to-date and accurate info....don't trust nybody else. If they tell you that you need a visa before arrival, get one there...easy and straightforward. Hope this help, Peter MonicaS Monica Post Count: 17 Msg: #11 183 days ago, May 27th 2009 | Wow Thx Peter | I will talk with them tomorrow, no answering machine in between LOL. And so I´ll do what they tell me. Thx a lot. I don´t want to stay at the airport for long. nor to be rejected Sincerely Monica marlboroeg SHEREEF Post Count: 4 Msg: #12 182 days ago, May 27th 2009 | hi Monica, | i think visa here costs U$ 35 not more and take it from air port , my freind coming from romania and pay 15 eur only regards and welcome to egypt ruthyroo82 Ruth Post Count: 9 Msg: #13 89 days ago, August 28th 2009 | I went in June, and flew to Cairo. I queued for no more than 5 mins, airport staff will direct you to the queue, and it cost £10, or I think it was $15. If you plan on leaving Egypt and coming back in, you can get a multiple entry visa which you have to get before you go, as the one at the airport is single entry, and they stamp over it on the way out. | MonicaS Monica Post Count: 17 Msg: #14 85 days ago, September 2nd 2009 | Thx I´ve been to Egypt and Jordan during June - July this year (2009) and back home. | Number of Users: 9 | Number of Posts: 14 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
