Visa to get into Egypt? |
Travel Info I am a Canadian citizen, living in Ireland. I am going to be entering Egypt from Spain. Will I need to get a visa? Thanks Travel Tips yes of course Others A passport should be sufficient, no matter where you're going. Yes, I'm Irish and I went there last year, I needed a VISA, however, I bought it when I arrived at the airport, it was about 鈧?5. However, you would need a different VISA to go to different parts of the country.. You be best to contact the Egyptian Embassy in Dublin, link below http://www.embegyptireland.ie/ Canadians must have a passport valid for at least two months beyond period of intended stay, and a visa is required. A 30-day visa can be obtained on arrival provided the purpose of travel is for tourism. For travellers just travelling to the south Sinai resorts, a free 14-day visa can be obtained on arrival. Passport (must be valid at least 2 months beyond period of intended stay) required. Visa required. However, a 30 days' visa can be obtained on arrival provided: - coming for touristic purposes; or - coming for other purposes, if arriving from a country without Egyptian representation or in emergency cases (left to discretion of Immigration Authorities). Fee: USD 15.- or equivalent. If entering Egypt via South Sinai (through Sant Katherine, Sharm El Sheik or Taba airports), a 14 days' visa -free of charge- can be obtained on arrival provided: - remaining in South Sinai resorts; and - not continuing to any other city in Egypt. Wives of Egyptian nationals: visa exempt, provided holding proof thereof. However, wives who are of a nationality who normally cannot obtain a visa on arrival are required to obtain approval from the authorities upon arrival. Yellow fever vaccination not required. Malaria prophylaxis recommended during period June-October. http://www.MyGreatTrip.com Yes you will need a visa, I went to Egypt about 3 years ago (Visa cost ~$70.00 Canadian...I think). You will want to get the visa before you go b/c when you hit customs there (I entered at Cairo), expect to be in line for some time...you don't want to make it longer! The visa was a typical application, how long, what for, where are you going etc. Some sites with the application and info are: http://www.touregypt.net/visa.htm... http://www.roadtoegypt.com/information/v... Have a great trip, I loved it! |
