Do Mexico passport holders need a visa to visit Egypt?

Mexican ordinary passport holders need a visa for Egypt. The simplest route is the official online eVisa (single-entry, 30-day stay, USD 25); visa on arrival is also available. Mexico is not visa-free for Egypt. Mexican ordinary passport holders are on Egypt's eVisa eligible list and can apply online through the official government portal (visa2egypt.gov.eg) for a tourist visa. The single-entry eVisa costs USD 25, permits a stay of up to 30 days, and is valid for 90 days from issue; a multiple-entry eVisa costs USD 60 and is valid for 180 days. Mexican nationals also qualify for a visa on arrival at major Egyptian airports (USD 25, single entry, paid at the bank kiosk before immigration), but the eVisa is recommended to skip airport queues and reduce the risk of being turned away. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. eVisa applications are typically approved within about a week, so apply at least 7 days before travel.
