Multiple-entry visas are available for higher fees. Bring the application in person or through an authorized agent.

Required documents include a passport valid for at least 6 months with two blank pages, two passport photos, completed application form, confirmed round-trip flight tickets, hotel reservation for the entire stay, bank statements for the last 3 months, and an employment letter. Business visas also need an invitation from an Egyptian company. The embassy may request additional documents. Collect the passport with the visa sticker within the stated processing window.
