How much does an Egypt tourist e-Visa cost?
The Egypt e-Visa Portal FAQ fee table lists tourism e-Visa amounts. Confirm the live checkout total when you pay on visa2egypt.gov.eg — the amount shown at payment is what matters on your travel date.
For who qualifies and how to apply, see the Egypt e-Visa guide. If you use assisted filing on my-evisas.com, you still pay the government visa fee through the official payment step; any service pricing for help on our site is shown separately on https://my-evisas.com/visas/egypt when you start an application.
Portal e-Visa fees — single vs multiple entry
On the portal FAQ fee table:
| Visa type | Listed fee |
|---|---|
| Single entry visa (Tourism) | 30$ |
| Multiple entries visa (Tourism) | 65$ |
Choose single or multiple entry based on your itinerary. Multiple entry costs more on the portal but may fit repeat visits within the visa validity rules on the live form.
What's included in the portal fee
The portal fee covers the tourism e-Visa product paid by credit or debit card during online application. After payment and processing, a download link for the e-Visa is sent by email.
Processing timelines — not dollar amounts — are on e-Visa processing time.
Visa on arrival — cash at the airport
State.gov states that U.S. citizens may obtain a renewable single-entry 30-day tourist visa on arrival at Egyptian airports for approximately $30 USD in exact change USD cash. A multiple entry visa costs approximately $60.
That fee is collected in USD cash at the airport — not through the online portal checkout. Compare when each path makes sense on e-Visa vs visa on arrival.

| Egypt e-Visa (online) | Credit/debit card on portal | FAQ: 30$ single / 65$ multiple tourism |
| Visa on arrival (airport) | USD cash in exact change | State.gov: approx. $30 single / $60 multiple |
These are different official channels — do not assume the airport cash price matches the portal FAQ table. Confirm each on your travel date.
