Yes, Indian citizens must have a valid visa to visit Egypt. They can apply for an Egypt e-visa online before travelling. Additionally, Indian travellers need an “Authorized Travel Agent Letter of Invitation” to enter the country unless they hold a valid UK, US visa, or UAE residency, which exempts them from this requirement.

Key points:

• Egypt visa is mandatory for Indian citizens.
• The e-visa application is available online.
• An “Authorized Travel Agent Letter of Invitation” is required to enter. 

Yes, all travellers, including children and minors, are required to have a valid Egypt e-visa. Each child must have an individual visa, regardless of age.

Note: Make sure to exit Egypt before your 30-day stay period expires to avoid overstaying penalties.

To apply for an Egypt e-visa, Indian citizens will need the following documents:

While there are no mandatory vaccinations required for an Egypt visa, it is recommended to be up-to-date on routine vaccinations. Travellers may also consider vaccinations for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and typhoid, depending on the length of stay and activities planned.
