Additional Helpful Information

The Egypt tourist visa is issued for a single entry within three months, for stay of up to 30 days.
A double entry visa can be issued for tourists on written request, must show copy of itinerary indicating two entries.

The visa may be issued on arrival at most major ports of entry, except land borders, for a tourist stay of 15-30 days
TDS strongly recommends verifying this information with your airline before you travel to Egypt.

All visitors to Egypt must register with immigration/police within seven days of arrival, or face a fine upon departure. Hotels and tour operators will perform the registration, which is evidented by a triangular registration stamp in the passport.
If registering yourself, register at the Mugamma building in Cairo. It is a very simple process which usually takes a few minutes at most and is free of charge, (except at police stations). This procedure can be completed in Alexandria at the Passport Registration Office on Sharia Talaat Harb.
