Do Philippines passport holders need a visa to visit Egypt?

Yes — you need a visa obtained in advance from the Egyptian Embassy/Consulate. Filipinos are NOT eligible for Egypt's eVisa or standard visa on arrival. Philippine ordinary passport holders require a visa to enter Egypt and must apply in advance at the Egyptian Embassy or Consulate (the consular/sticker visa route). The Philippines is NOT on Egypt's eVisa eligible-nationality list, and Filipinos do NOT qualify for the general airport visa on arrival. The only on-arrival exception is for travelers in an organized tour group of at least 15 people carrying a guarantee letter from a licensed Egyptian travel agency. A standard tourist visa is single-entry and generally permits a stay of up to 30 days. Passport must be valid at least 6 months beyond intended stay, with proof of onward travel and accommodation.
