Do Hong Kong passport holders need a visa to visit Egypt?

Hong Kong SAR ordinary passport holders can enter Egypt visa-free for tourism and stay up to 90 days. No advance visa, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival fee is required. Holders of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) ordinary passport enjoy visa-free entry to Egypt for tourism and short visits, with a permitted stay of up to 90 days (three months). This is confirmed by the Hong Kong Immigration Department's official visa-free/visa-on-arrival list and by IATA-sourced references (Wikipedia/Timatic and Sherpa), all of which classify Egypt as "visa not required" for HKSAR passport holders. No application, eVisa, or fee is needed before travel. Note that many commercial "Egypt eVisa" websites advertise paid eVisas to Hong Kong travelers, but these are unnecessary upsells for HKSAR ordinary passport holders, who are genuinely visa-exempt. Travelers should still carry a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival, proof of onward/return travel, and evidence of accommodation, as Egyptian immigration officers may ask for these at the border. If a stay longer than 90 days is needed, an extension must be requested locally before the visa-free period expires.
