Do i need a visa to go to egypt??

im going to egypt in a month for 2 weeks i am a british citizan do i need a visa and how do i get it??

Answer 1

Entry requirements for UK nationals: UK citizens must have a passport valid for two months beyond the period of intended stay, and a visa is required. A 30-day visa can be obtained on arrival provided the purpose of travel is for tourism. For travellers just travelling to the south Sinai resorts, a free 14-day visa can be obtained on arrival. UK visitors coming into Egypt for a short stay must register with the Office of Foreigners and Nationality within seven days of arrival; hotels will usually take care of this for guests

You have to pay for the 30 day visa - not sure how much

  If you are going to a Red Sea resort, you don't need a visa. If you are going to Cairo, Luxor etc, you will need a visa that you can get from the Egyptian embassy before you go, or you can buy it at the airport of arrival. At Luxor, the banks were selling the visas, so just follow the crowds. Can't remember how much they were tho.

  If you are going somewhere like Sharm or Marsa Alam many people who might need it, can get a visa on arrival at the airport for £10 or $15. People who go to dive will probably need a visa (see below). If you are going to just lie on the beach, not travel around, you probably will not need one.

If you are going to Sharm and not going to the national park (Ras Mohammed), you don't need any visa. Just arrive and go through immigration. But if you want to visit or dive in the Ras Mo park you have to have a visa for that, bought in the arrival hall (or from the London embassy etc).

EDIT

FATZ D You are wrong there are many countries in Europe that you dont need a visa

Answer 2

probably, it wouldnt be nice to be in trouble, especially in countries with strict laws. contact the egyptian embassy or consulat in your country.

btw for some countries you can enter the country and the customs officer will give you a 3 week free pass. its similiar to visa. if you wish to stay longer, then you need a visa. well they can explain you everything at the embassy or consulat. a travel agent can also give you info about this.
