Can Kazakhstan citizens get an e-visa or extend a tourist visa in Egypt?

In October 2026 a participant was told that new visa requirements for Kazakh citizens would take effect from November 1, 2026. This was not backed by an official source, so check the current rules with an Egyptian consulate or official government resources before traveling.

In July 2026 a participant who had experienced a visa refusal wrote that the fee is lost if you are refused. Around autumn 2025 there was a period when e-visa applications from Kazakh citizens went through, but that option was quickly closed — according to the latest information, Kazakhstan is not on the e-visa list.

In July 2026 a tour operator told travelers from Almaty that getting the visa could take more than three months. The travelers did not want to buy an expensive excursion from that operator.

A real case described in July 2026: a Kazakh citizen who owns two apartments in Hurghada was refused a visa extension. She was told that only a 30-day visa is available for Kazakhstan. This is one person's experience, not an official ruling.
