Check eligibility before departure
Use Egypt’s official e-Visa portal and confirm the entry rules that apply to your passport. If anything is unclear, check with the Egyptian consulate and your airline before travel.
Prepare the required documents
The official e-Visa guidance says a passport should be valid for at least six months from the arrival date. Travellers may also need the printed e-Visa, itinerary and accommodation information.
Keep airport transfer details separate
A private transfer booking does not grant entry permission and cannot replace immigration documents. The driver meeting begins only after passport control, baggage reclaim and customs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a visa at Hurghada Airport?
Visa-on-arrival eligibility depends on nationality and current entry rules. Check the official Egypt e-Visa portal, your airline or an Egyptian consulate before departure rather than assuming it is available for your passport.
How long must my passport be valid for Egypt?
Egypt’s official e-Visa FAQ says the passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of arrival.
Does booking an airport transfer include a visa?
No. Transport and immigration permission are separate. Complete the entry requirements before travel and meet the driver after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs.
