Australia to Egypt visa requirements

Australian passport holders need a visa for Egypt. The easiest route is the official Egypt eVisa: USD 30 single-entry or USD 65 multiple-entry. Visa on arrival is also available for Australian passport holders, but eVisa avoids airport queues. Australia is on Egypt's official eVisa eligible-country list, but it is not visa-free, so an ordinary Australian passport holder needs a tourist visa for a short visit. The recommended route is the electronic visa (eVisa) applied for in advance through Egypt's official portal at visa2egypt.gov.eg. The official eVisa FAQ lists a USD 30 single-entry tourism visa and a USD 65 multiple-entry tourism visa, with passport validity of at least 6 months from arrival, an eVisa printout, itinerary and accommodation details required on arrival. Australian passport holders can also obtain a visa on arrival; the Consulate General of Egypt in Sydney says this is available at Egyptian airports and seaports if the traveler has confirmed return flights, and Smartraveller says payment for a tourist visa on entry requires either a non-Egyptian credit card or US dollars in cash. The Sydney consulate also offers Category A sticker visas, but its page currently says Sydney visa issuance is temporarily unavailable because of a technical issue and directs travelers to eVisa, visa on arrival, or the Melbourne consulate. For most tourists, applying online before departure is the most predictable option. Carry a printed copy of the approved eVisa, proof of itinerary/accommodation, and check any land-border fees separately if entering from Israel or another neighboring country.
