Egypt entry planning for US tourists

US tourists should establish the appropriate Egyptian visa route before travelling. The Egyptian embassy's visa page provides an American-passport tourist process and identifies the official eVisa service.

Choose the process for your passport, purpose and entry point. If applying through a consulate, check which office serves your residence; the Washington office lists its jurisdiction. For electronic applications, follow the embassy's official link and check current eligibility.

Do not treat every arrival product as having the same fee or payment method. This introduction does not quote one universal airport price.

It also does not extend the limited South Sinai resort exemption to every US itinerary. UK guidance for British citizen passports illustrates how narrowly that exemption is defined; a Cairo visit is a different plan.
