Overview
About the Egypt visa for Indians
Indian passport holders need a visa to visit Egypt, and for most holidaymakers the easiest route is the official Egypt e-Visa. You apply online before travelling, the approval is linked to your passport, and a single-entry e-Visa typically allows a stay of up to 30 days. A multiple-entry version suits travellers who plan to leave and re-enter, for example on a combined Egypt and Jordan itinerary. Indians who already hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa may also qualify for a visa on arrival, subject to the latest Egyptian rules. Business trips and longer stays are usually handled as sticker visas through the Egyptian embassy.
Audvik takes the guesswork out of the process. Our visa desk confirms which Egypt visa fits your plans, checks your passport, photo and supporting papers, fills in the online application accurately and tracks it until a decision arrives. We can also build the rest of your trip around it, from flights and Cairo hotels to Nile cruises, Luxor day tours and Red Sea resort stays.

Egypt visa FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Egypt?
Yes. Indian citizens need a visa to enter Egypt. Most tourists apply for the online e-Visa before travelling. Those holding a valid US, UK or Schengen visa may be eligible for a visa on arrival, but rules can change, so it is safer to arrange your visa in advance.
How long does the Egypt e-Visa take for Indians?
The Egypt e-Visa is typically processed in around 5–7 working days, although some applications are approved faster and others take longer during peak season. We suggest applying at least two to three weeks before your flight so there is time to respond to any queries from the authorities.
Can I get an Egypt visa on arrival with an Indian passport?
A visa on arrival is generally available only to Indians who hold a valid US, UK or Schengen visa, subject to the latest Egyptian rules. Airlines may still check your documents at boarding, so many travellers prefer the certainty of an approved e-Visa before leaving India.
Can I extend my Egypt tourist visa?
Extensions are sometimes possible through the immigration authorities inside Egypt, but they are not guaranteed and depend on your circumstances. It is better to choose a visa that matches your full travel dates from the start, and to leave Egypt before your permitted stay ends.
Can Audvik book my flights, hotels and Nile cruise too?
Yes. Along with your Egypt visa, Audvik can arrange flights, hotels in Cairo, Luxor or Hurghada, Nile cruise cabins, guided sightseeing and travel insurance. Having one team handle everything keeps your itinerary and visa documents consistent, which makes the application smoother.
