Egypt e-Visa for US Citizens

The Egyptian e-Visa is an online tourist visa that allows American passport holders to enter Egypt.

The ability to get an Egypt visa online from the United States makes the e-Visa far more convenient than other types of Egyptian visas. You can get the e-Visa from the comfort of your own home without the need to visit an Egyptian embassy in person.

The Egyptian e-Visa for US nationals allows travelers to stay in Egypt for a maximum of 30 days. It is valid for 90 days from the date of issue. This means that travelers are able to enter Egypt within 90 days from the date that their e-Visa was approved.

The Egyptian visa policy states that there are only a handful of e-Visa requirements for American citizens. These are the only things that you need in order to apply for the Egyptian e-Visa:

• Valid US passport
• Scanned image of the passport information page
• Recent passport-sized photograph (taken within the last 6 months)
• Method of payment (credit card or debit card)
• Email address

Your American passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date that you plan to enter Egypt. If you are a dual citizen, you must use the same passport to apply for the Egyptian e-Visa that you will later use to enter Egypt.

An email address is required to receive your Egyptian online visa for Americans, as well as notifications about the status of your application. We recommend checking this email inbox regularly to stay updated about when your approved e-Visa is ready.

It is quick and simple to obtain the Egyptian e-Visa for citizens of the United States of America. The first step is to fill out your information on the online application.

The form asks for the following details:

• Basic personal information (name, date of birth, marital status, etc.)
• Passport details (passport number and expiration date)
• Contact information (including email address and home address)

The second part of the application form will ask about your current and previous trips to Egypt (if any) as well as a couple of simple yes/no questions.

After you have completed the Egypt e-Visa application form, we recommend that you go through your answers and double–check to make sure that all the information is correct and true.

The final step before you can submit your Egypt e-Visa application from the US is to pay the processing fee with a valid form of payment, such as a credit card or debit card.

The average processing time of the Egypt e-Visa for citizens of the United States is within 4 business days. In many cases, applicants will receive their Egypt visa for US citizens even sooner.

All travelers are advised to apply for their Egyptian e-Visa at least 7 days before their scheduled flight to Egypt, in the rare case of any processing delays with the application.
