Egypt Visa for Indians: Fees, Documents and Agent Support
Updated
Co-founder & Egypt trip planner, Trolly Good Fellow
The official Egypt e-Visa FAQ currently lists US$30 for single entry and US$65 for multiple entry, checked on 2 October 2026. These are portal fees, not an agent's complete service charge. INR cost depends on the exchange rate and card charges.

What does an Egypt e-Visa cost for an Indian traveller?
India appears in the portal's nationality list. Your application route and supporting requirements still need checking for your particular passport and circumstances. Do not assume that a nationality listing means every independent application or visa-on-arrival arrangement is automatically accepted.
For TGF Egypt trips, our team helps with visa preparation and coordinates with our Egyptian partner where agent support or a Letter of Guarantee is required. Approval and entry remain decisions of the Egyptian authorities.
What documents should you prepare?
The official portal's arrival checklist includes:
- A passport valid for at least six months from arrival.
- A printed e-Visa.
- Your travel itinerary.
- Supporting documentation relevant to the purpose of the visit.
- Hotel bookings or details of the places you will visit.
Follow the live application instructions for uploads and any additional documents. Names, passport details and dates must match the booking. Keep copies available offline, and give each family member's application the same attention rather than assuming one adult's approval covers the party.
Do Indians need a travel agent or Letter of Guarantee?
Indian travellers should establish the applicable application route before booking non-refundable arrangements. If the portal asks for an authorised Egyptian tourist agent or a group application, arrange that support with a legitimate Egyptian partner. If you want to apply independently, seek confirmation from the Egyptian embassy or consulate for your circumstances.
A Letter of Guarantee is supporting agency documentation where required; it is not an alternative to a visa or a guarantee of entry. Ask who issues it, whether the arrival representative is arranged and what documents you must carry.
Our team can coordinate the supporting process for travellers booking an Egypt trip with us. We do not describe that assistance as a way to bypass immigration requirements.
Can you rely on visa on arrival?
Do not treat visa on arrival as an unconditional last-minute fallback for every Indian passport holder. Eligibility can depend on additional documents or circumstances, and airline check-in staff must be satisfied that you can enter Egypt.
Confirm the intended arrangement with the Egyptian authorities and the operating airline before travel. A friend's successful arrival, a social-media comment or an agent's casual assurance is not enough to establish your eligibility.
Where an advance visa is the appropriate route, allow time for processing and correction of documents. We do not promise a fixed approval time or a zero-rejection record.
How to check the total visa cost
| Charge | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Official e-Visa fee | Live portal amount and entry type |
| Agency assistance | Whether a service fee is included in your tour quote |
| Supporting documents | Whether partner support or agency paperwork carries a charge |
| Optional arrival service | What a meet-and-assist service does and whether you requested it |
| Currency conversion | Your payment card's exchange rate and charges |
Visa assistance and visa fees are different inclusions. The Egypt cost guide explains how to keep those distinctions clear when comparing tours.
What TGF helps you check
We review the documentation needed for your planned trip, coordinate relevant supporting arrangements and explain what to carry at departure and arrival. Tell us early about a second nationality, overseas residence, a child's passport or a previous refusal so the appropriate route can be checked.
Before flying, recheck the rules and your operating flight. For disruption and transit planning, read Egypt travel during regional tensions. Visa approval does not settle flight availability or travel-insurance cover.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Egypt e-Visa still $30?
The official portal FAQ checked on 2 October 2026 lists US$30 for single entry and US$65 for multiple entry. Recheck the portal before payment; service and card charges are separate.
Does a Letter of Guarantee replace an Egypt visa?
No. It is supporting documentation where required. Confirm the applicable visa route, issuing partner and arrival arrangements for your passport.
Does TGF guarantee visa approval?
No. TGF assists with preparation and relevant partner documentation. Egyptian authorities decide visa issuance and entry.
How much is the Egypt visa in rupees?
Use the live USD fee and your payment card’s exchange rate and charges. A fixed INR conversion becomes stale and is not the complete cost if an agency service fee applies.
