Egyptian e-Visa Requirements for Citizens of Germany

Thanks to the e-Visa program, German travelers are able to conveniently apply for the Egypt electronic visa from the comfort of their home. This means that travelers do not have to spend time visiting their local embassy and attending an in-person interview with an immigration officer. Instead, the process is done entirely online and should take less than 15 minutes to complete.

The Egypt e-Visa application form for German citizens is divided into different sections that ask about the traveler’s personal information, passport information, background, employment, and a handful of personal questions. We have compiled the most common questions below so that applicants are prepared when they fill out the application form.

Personal information

• First and last name
• Date of birth
• Gender
• Marital status

Passport information

• Passport number
• Nationality
• Date of issue
• Date of expiration

Please note that applicants must use the same passport when arriving in Egypt that they used for applying for their Egyptian e-Visa online. Those with dual nationality and multiple passports should keep this in mind.

Contact information

• Email address
• Home address
• Phone number

Travel information

• Expected date of entry
• Expected date of departure
• Type of visa required (single or multiple-entry)
• Address of accommodation while staying in Egypt

Once the application is filled out, travelers will need to upload two documents. The first is a recent passport-sized photo of themselves that was taken within the last 6 months. The second document is an image of the biometric page in the traveler’s German passport (which shows their face, personal information, and passport information).

After all of these requirements have been met, travelers are able to submit their application for consideration. We encourage all applicants to double-check and make sure the information included application form is true, correct, and accurate before submitting the online form.

In the case of inaccuracies, the Egyptian e-Visa application may be rejected and applicants will need to go through the online process again.

Travelers will receive a copy of the approved Egyptian e-Visa for nationals of Germany digitally in the form of an email, which is why it is important to provide your primary email address. Likewise, we recommend that travelers print out their confirmation email in case border agents ask to see a paper copy of the e-Visa when entering the country.

The Egyptian e-Visa can take up to 7 days to process and be approved, which is why we advise all travelers to apply for their electronic at least one or two weeks before their planned departure.
