Egypt eVisa for Russians at a glance

The Pyramids, a Nile cruise or the Red Sea beaches - Russian travellers can apply online for Egypt's eVisa with just a passport and photo, single or multiple entry, and no embassy visit.

Good to know: apply with just your passport and a photo. The eVisa is valid at Egypt's international airports (Cairo, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and more). A hotel reservation is informational only - we do not sell add-ons.

Got my Egypt eVisa in 3 days flat. Photo was rejected by their human reviewer the first time, they emailed me clear instructions, and the resubmit went through.

Cairo arrival was smooth, immigration scanned the eVisa PDF in seconds. Worth every cent for the peace of mind.

Tips for Russians visiting Egypt

  • Beach-only in Sinai may be visa-free

    If you stay only in the South Sinai resorts (Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab), you can get a free 15-day entry permit on arrival instead.

  • The eVisa covers the whole country

    Cairo, Giza, Luxor and the Nile are all included, not just the Red Sea resorts.

  • Apply about a week ahead

    Standard processing runs around 8 business days, so do not book a tight arrival.

  • Print or save your eVisa

    Present it with your passport on arrival at the airport.
