Do you need a visa for Sharm El Sheikh, and what about visas for children with their own passports?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 2 days ago
TL;DR
No advance visa is needed for Sharm El Sheikh — just a valid passport, as the entry stamp/visa is issued free on arrival. Kids traveling on their own passport get the same on-arrival stamp, with a blank/dash where extra info isn't required.
What the community said
For kids with their own passport, the visa stub just has a blank/dash at the bottom of the front side — that's normal, not a mistake.

Getting a visa in advance isn't recommended — it's not required. If unsure, just ask the border officer at passport control on arrival.

In practice, only a valid passport is needed to enter, but it's worth printing all your documents (hotel booking, tickets) beforehand just in case.
