Passport and visa: preparing to enter Egypt.

Entry requirements depend on your nationality, itinerary and reason for travel. Check the position of every traveller before confirming reservations.

Passport validity

Egypt’s official e-Visa portal states that a passport must be valid for at least six months from the arrival date. Verify the requirement against the official source for your dates and circumstances.

Applying for a visa

Switzerland is listed among the nationalities eligible to apply through the official e-Visa portal. Check the process, supporting documents and fees directly there. A visa does not guarantee the final admission decision at the border.

Check the complete itinerary

Members of a family may hold different passports. Connections, leaving and re-entering the country or extending a stay may also affect the steps required. List these details before starting applications.

How we help

We help identify information linked to your programme and point you to official sources. Applications remain personal and use your own documents. Check unusual circumstances with the authorities or their representatives.
