Do Thailand passport holders need a visa to visit Egypt?

Thai ordinary passport holders need a visa to visit Egypt for tourism. Thailand is not on Egypt's e-visa or visa-on-arrival eligible list, so you must apply in advance at the Egyptian Embassy in Bangkok. As of May 2026, a Thailand ordinary passport holder must obtain a tourist visa before traveling to Egypt. Unlike many Western and Asian nationalities, Thai citizens are NOT eligible for Egypt's online e-Visa (visa2egypt.gov.eg) nor for visa on arrival at Egyptian airports. The only documented pathway is a consular (embassy) visa obtained in advance from the Embassy of Egypt in Bangkok. Requirements include a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay with at least two blank pages, proof of onward/return travel, and supporting documents (hotel booking, financial means). A single-entry tourist visa typically permits a stay of up to 30 days. Travelers should apply well ahead of departure because consular processing requires an appointment and can take several working days. Because sources do not show Thailand being added to the e-Visa or VOA list, the conservative and accurate verdict is visa-required via the embassy.
