Egypt Visa on Arrivalfor 🌍 Armenia citizens travelling to 🇪🇬 Egypt
Armenia citizens can obtain a Egypt Visa on Arrival on arrival at Egypt's international airports and designated ports of entry. No advance visa application is required — pay the visa fee at the immigration counter and present your travel documents. You may stay up to 30 days per entry.
Armenian citizens may obtain a visa on arrival at Egyptian ports for tourism (30-day stay), but Egypt grants it only to holders of a Letter of Guarantee issued by a licensed Egyptian travel agency — so the online e-Visa is usually the simpler route. A passport valid 6+ months is required.

⚠️Common Reasons Egypt Visa on Arrival Applications Are Refused6

- !Insufficient proof of funds, accommodation, or a confirmed onward / return ticket.
- !An unclear or unconvincing tourism purpose, or inconsistent supporting documents.
- !A passport valid for less than six months beyond arrival, or with insufficient blank pages.
- !Doubt about your intention to leave Egypt within the 30-day stay the visa permits.
- !A prior overstay or immigration violation in Egypt, or a security-related refusal.
