How do I buy an Egyptian tourist visa on arrival at Sharm El Sheikh Airport?

After leaving the aircraft, go up the escalator: the bank counter selling visas is on the right. One traveler reported a cost of US$30 per person, with a visa sticker issued after payment.

First collect and complete the arrival cards, then buy the visa at the nearby bank counter. Go to immigration with your passport, visa sticker, and completed card; after passport control, proceed downstairs for baggage and your transfer.

Not every arrival in Sharm El Sheikh needs a paid visa: some passengers enter using the free Sinai-only stamp. Check whether it covers your planned itinerary, as travelers noted that only some people on a flight buy visas.

Once you have bought the visa, head straight to the immigration desks rather than waiting in unrelated lines. Check immediately that the officer has inserted the visa sticker into your passport and added the required stamp.
