Egypt visa fee to rise to $33 from January 1, 2027

Egypt will increase its single-entry visa fee to $33 starting January 1, 2027, up from the current $30. A Cabinet decision from August 2026 confirms the $3 increase for entry and transit visas.


Fee increase confirmed for single-entry visa

Egypt's single-entry visa fee will rise to $33 starting January 1, 2027. This represents a $3 increase from the current $30. The Egyptian Travel Agents Association confirmed this in a circular referring to an Egyptian Cabinet decision dated August 13, 2026, which approved the increase in entry and transit visa fees.

Digital visa on arrival in Cairo

Travelers using Egypt's new Digital Visa-on-Arrival system at Cairo International Airport should expect to pay $39 total starting January 1, 2027. This breaks down as $33 for the visa plus $6 in digital service, issuance and banking fees. The digital system currently costs $36 ($30 visa plus $6 service fees) and is being piloted at Cairo airport before potential expansion to other Egyptian airports and border crossings.

E-Visa fees still pending confirmation

No updated pricing has yet been officially published for Egypt's standard e-Visa obtained before travel through the Ministry of Interior portal. The portal currently lists $30 for single-entry and $65 for multiple-entry tourist e-Visas. Until new fees are officially announced, the future cost of e-Visas obtained before departure remains uncertain.
