Just passport or passport/visa to travel in egypt

[Angel Eyes Yuseef 5]

OK I am trying to figure out for sure if i need a tourist visa to go to Egypt. This is the first i have heard of it. And the travel.state.gov is not very clear on it. It is saying yes, but says you can get at the airport and another part says have to obtain it before entering. So now i am massively confused. Where do i get one.

Plz help me. I am running out of time before i go.

Yes, you will need a tourist visa. You can get one at the airport there. It used to cost $15 USD. It's good for 3 months.

Awesome, that is a relief I can do that. Thanks so much.

You're welcome!

Just FYI, you could alternatively send your passport to the Egyptian consulate that serves your area and they will stamp it for you but that's a pain. I did that the first time I went because I didn't know I could get it at the airport.

The easiest is getting it at the airport for $15USD. I just traveled this past April. Once married, your visas to enter Egypt are free when you show your marriage certificate/paper.

Have Fun! I'm jealous...wish I was going back again. "Insha Allah" next year.

Just so you know, they generally do not allow anyone inside the airport for pickups. Most people have to get met outside. There's a line for visas that's very easy to find.

Norielorie-

you will be fine. It is easy to get around the airport. You will come across the lines of people purchasing their visas. Don't worry. You will be fine.

Enjoy yourself!
