South Korea to Egypt visa requirements

South Korean ordinary passport holders need a visa for mainland Egypt. The recommended route is Egypt's official e-Visa (US$30 single entry, 30-day stay); visa on arrival is also available at ports of entry and now costs US$30. Egypt is not generally visa-free for South Korean (Republic of Korea) ordinary passport holders visiting mainland Egypt. For tourism and short visits, the best-documented route is the official Egypt e-Visa portal: South Korea is listed as eligible, tourist e-Visas are available for single or multiple entries, and the official fee is US$30 for single entry or US$65 for multiple entry. The e-Visa should be created at least 7 days before departure, is paid online by card, and must be printed for arrival. The ROK Embassy in Egypt also lists South Korean ordinary passport holders as eligible for visa on arrival at Egyptian international airports and other entry points for a single-entry 30-day stay; that embassy notice still shows the older US$25 fee, but current travel-formalities reporting confirms the arrival visa fee increased to US$30 from 2026-03-01. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from arrival and should have a blank page for the visa sticker or entry stamp. Carry the e-Visa printout, travel itinerary, hotel booking or place-to-visit details, and any invitation/supporting letter for family, business, or host visits. A free Sinai-only permission stamp may be available at Sharm El Sheikh, Taba, Nuweiba, and nearby Sinai entry points, but it is not valid for travel to mainland Egypt such as Cairo, Alexandria, or Luxor.
