France to Egypt visa requirements

French ordinary passport holders need a visa for Egypt unless they only use the limited South Sinai resort permission. The easiest route is the official online e-Visa (US$30 single entry, up to 30 days), with visa on arrival also available at international airports. French ordinary passport holders need a visa for Egypt for normal tourism. Egypt's official e-Visa FAQ lists France among nationalities eligible to apply online and lists current tourist e-Visa fees as US$30 for single entry and US$65 for multiple entry. France Diplomatie also says the visa is mandatory and that French travelers can obtain a tourist visa from an Egyptian consulate in France or, preferably, on arrival in Egypt; the airport visa sticker is sold at international airports, payable in foreign-currency cash, and France Diplomatie lists US$30 for single entry and US$60 for a multiple-entry visa. A narrow South Sinai exception exists for travelers staying only in Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba or Taba for no more than 15 days: a free entry permission stamp/special Sinai visa may be issued on arrival, but a full Egypt visa is required to leave that resort area or stay longer. For passport travel, Egypt's e-Visa portal requires the passport to be valid at least 6 months from arrival; France Diplomatie advises French passports be valid at least 6 months after the planned return to France.
