Egypt e-Visa Official Website: Government Portal, Website Checks and Private Help
Short answer: The Egyptian Ministry of Interior runs the official Egypt e-Visa Portal. You can apply there yourself. A site that falsely presents itself as the government is an impersonator; a private service that clearly identifies itself and offers optional filing help is a different choice. As of 24 September 2026, check the address and the service you are choosing before entering personal or payment details.

What is the official Egypt e-Visa website?
The government route is the Egypt e-Visa Portal, which identifies the Ministry of Interior of the Arab Republic of Egypt in its footer. The portal lets eligible travelers submit an application electronically and pay by card; it sends a link to download the e-Visa by email. If you want to deal directly with the issuing authority's application system, this is the route to use.
How to recognize the government portal
The government portal is at visa2egypt.gov.eg. Check the address in your browser before you create an account or pay. Its home page identifies itself as the Egypt e-Visa Portal and attributes the site to the Ministry of Interior. The portal says an application must be created at least seven days before departure and describes payment by Visa, MasterCard or other debit cards. Those details help you recognize its filing process, but the address is the decisive identity check. If you are following the government self-service route, confirm that address before entering application or card details; familiar portal wording alone cannot establish that a different site is the Ministry's portal.
What makes a site an impersonator?
The problem is a false claim of government identity. A site may look official or use Egypt e-Visa language, yet lead to a different address while presenting itself as the issuing authority. The U.S. Department of State warns that many sites claim to offer Egyptian e-Visas and identifies the Egyptian government site as the only official source. Before trusting a page's branding or search-result label, look at who actually operates it and whether it claims government status. Otherwise, you could choose a site believing you are applying directly to the government when you are using a different operator.
A clearly identified private filing service is not the government portal. Its separate role should be evident before you decide to use it.
Where disclosed private application help fits
Private assistance can be useful if you want help preparing and filing an electronic application. It is an optional service alongside the government self-service route, with its own terms. The service provider's identity and role should be clear so that you know whom you are paying and what help you are requesting.
Private assistance does not replace the Egyptian authorities' role in issuing the e-Visa. Egyptian authorities make the visa and admission decisions. For eligibility and application context, see the Egypt e-Visa guide.
A safe channel check before you apply
First, decide whether you want to submit through the government portal yourself or use a clearly identified private service for filing help. Then check the browser address against the route you chose and read the site's description of who provides the service. Review the current application terms and payment information before entering personal details. If you are unsure about the e-Visa rules, consult the government portal and its FAQ before proceeding.
