Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders need a visa to enter Egypt. The easiest route is the eVisa at visa2egypt.gov.eg. A single-entry 30-day visa costs USD 25. The multiple-entry version costs USD 60 and allows stays of up to 30 days per visit over a 180-day period. Processing takes 3 to 7 business days. Print the approval letter and bring it to the airport.

You can also buy a visa on arrival at Egyptian airports. The cost is USD 25 for single entry, payable in cash (USD, EUR, or GBP). The visa-on-arrival sticker is valid for 30 days. This option works fine but the eVisa saves time in the arrival hall.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. Egypt also accepts entry on a Spanish national ID card if you arrive on certain charter flights to Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada, or Marsa Alam, with a special entry permit issued at the resort. For regular flights to Cairo or Alexandria, use your passport.
