Canada to Egypt visa requirements
Canadian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Egypt. The clearest tourist route is Egypt's official e-Visa: USD $30 single entry or USD $65 multiple entry. A 30-day visa on arrival is also available, paid in U.S. dollars cash. Canadian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Egypt for tourism, business or study. Egypt's official e-Visa portal lists Canada as eligible, and its FAQ lists tourist e-Visa fees of USD $30 for single entry and USD $65 for multiple entry, paid online by credit or debit card. Government of Canada guidance, last updated June 2, 2026, says Canadian passport holders may obtain an electronic visa before travel or a 30-day tourist visa on arrival in Egypt, paid in cash in U.S. dollars. It also warns that all visas issued on arrival must be paid in USD cash and that entry may cost between USD $60 and $100 per person depending on travel plans. Regular Canadian passports must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the expected departure date from Egypt. A narrow no-visa option is listed for travellers entering via the Taba land border crossing: they may receive a 14-day visa-free stamp if staying within the Sinai Peninsula, including Sharm El Sheikh; travel outside Sinai requires an e-Visa in advance or a 30-day visa on arrival at Taba. Applying online in advance remains the recommended path because the official e-Visa fee is published and payment is completed before travel.
