Do Indonesia passport holders need a visa to visit Egypt?

Indonesian ordinary passport holders need a visa before traveling to Egypt. Indonesia is not on Egypt's e-visa or standard visa-on-arrival list, so you must apply at an Egyptian embassy or consulate (the main option being the Jakarta embassy). A narrow visa-on-arrival exists only for organized tour groups of 15+ with an authorized Egyptian agency guarantee letter. As of 30 May 2026, Indonesia is not included in Egypt's electronic visa (e-Visa) program and is not among the nationalities granted ordinary visa-on-arrival. Indonesian ordinary passport holders must therefore obtain a tourist visa from an Egyptian diplomatic mission (the Embassy of Egypt in Jakarta) before departure. The standard tourist visa is single-entry, allows a stay of up to 30 days, and the visa sticker/validity window is typically 90 days from issue. The only on-arrival pathway open to Indonesians is for organized tour groups of at least 15 people carrying a signed guarantee letter from a licensed Egyptian travel agency; independent travelers cannot rely on this. Embassy processing can take several working days to a few weeks, so apply well ahead. Carry a passport valid for at least six months beyond entry, proof of onward travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds.
