Egypt Visa for Indian Passport Holders
Egypt is a paradise for travelers, explorers, and adventurers due to its world-famous pyramids, exciting culture, history, and beautiful natural wonders. Like many countries, Egypt visa for Indians is mandatory.
Indians require an Egypt tourist visa to tour the country or visit a relative. The visa is valid for 90 days from the date of issue and allows you to stay for 30 days.
Egypt and India share amicable relationships. However, you can only explore the country, visit a relative, or go on a business trip with a proper visa for Egypt.
The type of Egypt visa required depends on the applicant's nationality, the duration of the stay, and the purpose of the visit. Indian citizens do not qualify to apply for an Egypt E Visa online. Thus, applicants must get an Egyptian visa through the embassy or consulate.
