Singapore to Egypt visa requirements

Q: How much does the Egypt e-Visa cost for Singaporeans?

USD 30 for a single-entry tourist e-Visa and USD 65 for a multiple-entry tourist e-Visa, paid online by card on the official portal.

Q: Is visa on arrival still available, and what does it cost?

Yes, at Egyptian airports. Since 1 March 2026 the fee is USD 30 (USD 25 sticker plus a USD 5 surcharge), payable in cash.

Q: How long can I stay in Egypt?

Up to 30 days per entry on both the e-Visa and the visa on arrival.

Q: How long does the e-Visa take to process?

Create the application at least 7 days before departure through the official portal so there is time for online processing and approval.

Q: Which website is the official e-Visa portal?

The official government portal is visa2egypt.gov.eg. Avoid third-party sites that charge higher service fees.

Singapore ordinary passport holders need a visa for Egypt. The easiest route is the official online e-Visa (USD 30 single entry), which permits a tourist stay of up to 30 days; visa on arrival is also available for USD 30. A Singapore ordinary passport holder is NOT visa-free for Egypt. The recommended option is the Egypt e-Visa, applied for online via the official government portal (visa2egypt.gov.eg) before departure. Egypt's official e-Visa FAQ lists Singapore as eligible and shows tourist e-Visa fees of USD 30 for single entry and USD 65 for multiple entry. A tourist e-Visa permits a short stay of up to 30 days per entry. Visa on arrival is also available for Singaporeans at Egyptian airports according to Singapore MFA, and current fee reporting shows the visa-on-arrival fee rose to USD 30 on 1 March 2026. The e-Visa is still preferable for most travelers because it gives approval before travel and avoids the airport visa queue, but it is no longer cheaper than the visa-on-arrival route. Create the official e-Visa application at least 7 days before departure. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of arrival. Travelers should apply only via the official portal to avoid third-party markups, and carry travel itinerary, accommodation details and a return or onward ticket.
