According to reports, Indian tourists can now obtain a single entry visa-on-arrival with a 30-day validity period for $25. (Rs 2,060). Tourists can also obtain a five-year multiple-entry visa for $700. (Rs 57,688).

It is worth noting that this new policy is available to people of over 180 different nationalities.

The payment method for physically applying for a visa on arrival in Egypt includes only cash payment in US dollars. It is essential for Indian tourists to ensure that they carry sufficient US dollars in cash to pay for the visa fee.

Positive Response

The new visa policy has been widely welcomed by Indian tourists and travel agents, who have been seeking a more straightforward and more convenient visa application process for Egypt. The move is also expected to provide a much-needed boost to the tourism industry in Egypt, which has been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
