What is an Egypt e-Visa?
An Egypt e-Visa is an official document permitting entry into and travel from Egypt. Applicants obtain visas electronically after entering required information and paying by credit or debit card. A link to download the e-Visa is sent by email.
Do US citizens need an Egypt e-Visa?
Travel.State.Gov states that U.S. citizens must have a visa to enter Egypt. The Egypt e-Visa Portal FAQ lists the United States of America among nationalities that may be issued an e-Visa upon application. You may also consider a visa on arrival at Egyptian airports — see e-Visa vs Visa on Arrival.
