Ordinary Entry Visa (تأشيرة دخول عادية)

The Ordinary Entry Visa is the standard authorization for foreign nationals intending to visit Egypt for tourism, short-term business, or personal visits. It is the most common visa type, available to citizens of many countries through various channels, including the official e-Visa portal, Egyptian embassies and consulates, or as a 'visa on arrival' at major Egyptian airports for qualifying nationalities. This visa is typically valid for a single entry or multiple entries, depending on the specific type applied for, and generally allows for a stay of up to 30 days.

This visa is designed for travelers who do not fall under special categories like diplomatic or long-term residency. While the process is streamlined for many tourists, applicants must ensure their passport meets the six-month validity requirement and that they have the necessary funds and travel documentation. It is important to note that having a visa does not guarantee entry, as immigration officials at the port of entry retain the final authority to grant or deny access based on security and immigration regulations.
