Easy Guide to Getting an Egypt Visa for UK Citizens

UK citizens planning a trip to Egypt need a visa. You can apply for one through the Egyptian Consulate in the UK. Make sure to start early and provide all necessary documents like a completed form, passport-sized photos, and a valid passport. This guide simplifies the process for you.

Key Requirements for an Egypt Visa

• This guide is for UK citizens with a full ‘British citizen’ passport.
• Apply for a visa before your trip, especially for work or business.
• You can apply online or at the Egyptian Consulate.
• Tourist visas are valid for up to 3 months.

Special Cases

• Online applications don’t accept variant British passports (like those from British Overseas Territories).
• You can get a visa on arrival for $25 at airport kiosks, valid for 30 days.
• Visiting Sharm el Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba, or Taba for up to 15 days? You’ll get a free entry stamp. But if you stay longer or travel outside these areas, you need a visa.
