Do I need to buy another Egypt tourist visa if I arrive in Cairo and depart from Hurghada?

For a trip arriving in Cairo and departing from Hurghada, a tourist visa can be obtained on arrival; one participant noted that departure from a different airport is allowed on a scheduled flight.

A participant also reported that an electronic visa for entry through Cairo costs USD 36 per person; verify the current fee before purchase, as rates can change.

The newest post concerned a different case: a pending permanent-residency application does not automatically remove the need to keep a current visa until approval. If an urgent departure is needed, confirm any overstay penalties with Egyptian immigration in advance.

Participants thought the procedure in Hurghada might differ from Cairo, but provided no confirmed process for paying for or reissuing a visa.

The practical concern was entering through Cairo and leaving from Hurghada; the messages do not state that changing the departure airport alone requires a second tourist visa.
