Can UAE residents apply for an Egypt visa online?

Yes. UAE residents — Emiratis and expats holding a valid UAE residence visa — can apply for the Egyptian eVisa fully online through eVisas.io. The application takes under a minute and the approved e-visa is delivered by email. GCC nationals enter visa-free; ~50 other nationalities can also use visa-on-arrival, but the eVisa pre-approval avoids the airport queue.

Single-entry vs 6-month multiple-entry — which Egypt eVisa should UAE residents pick?

Pick the single-entry 30-day eVisa (USD 25) if you have one trip in mind. Pick the 6-month multiple-entry eVisa (USD 60) if you plan multiple Egypt trips within 6 months — combining a Pyramids weekend with a separate Sharm beach trip, for example. Each entry on the multiple-entry visa allows a 30-day stay.

How much does an Egypt eVisa cost from the UAE?

The Egyptian government eVisa fee is currently USD 25 (≈ AED 92) for the 30-day single-entry tourist eVisa and USD 60 (≈ AED 220) for the 6-month multiple-entry eVisa. eVisas.io shows the live total — government fee + service charge in AED — for your specific entry type before you confirm payment.

How long does it take to get an Egypt eVisa from the UAE?

Standard Egyptian eVisa processing through eVisas.io is typically 5–7 working days. Express options can deliver the approved eVisa in 1–3 working days. Visa-on-arrival is instant at Cairo airport — but the queue can be long during peak season, which is why most UAE residents prefer the eVisa pre-approval.

Can Indians, Pakistanis or Filipinos living in the UAE apply for the Egypt eVisa?

Yes. Egypt issues the eVisa to citizens of 75+ countries including Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Filipino, Sri Lankan, Jordanian, Lebanese and most European, North American and South American passport holders. GCC nationals (Saudi, Kuwaiti, Bahraini, Omani, Qatari, Emirati) enter visa-free. eVisas.io confirms your route automatically.

Do I need a visa for Sharm El Sheikh from the UAE?

For a beach-only trip staying inside the Sinai peninsula (Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba, Taba, St. Catherine's) you can use the free Sinai-only entry permit issued at SSH airport — valid 15 days, no government fee. To leave the Sinai (visit Cairo, the Pyramids or Luxor) you need a full Egyptian eVisa or visa-on-arrival.

Do I need to print my Egypt eVisa before flying from Dubai?

A digital copy on your phone is accepted at Cairo, Sharm and Hurghada immigration, but most GCC airline check-in desks prefer to see a printed colour copy. We recommend carrying both, plus your hotel booking and return ticket printout.

Does my UAE residence visa affect my Egypt visa fee?

No. Egypt sets eVisa fees by passport nationality, not by where you live. Your UAE residency only determines that you can apply from the UAE — the fee is identical to applying from your home country.

Egypt Visa for UAE Residents

Apply online from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, or anywhere in the UAE — no embassy visit required.

Looking for an Egypt visa for UAE residents? You're in the right place. Egypt is one of the most-booked short-haul cultural destinations from the UAE — the Pyramids of Giza, Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts of Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada all sit under 4 hours from Dubai (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH) and Sharjah (SHJ). UAE residents have three entry routes: the official Egyptian eVisa for single or multiple entry (most non-GCC nationalities), visa-on-arrival at Cairo airport for ~50 nationalities, and visa-free entry for GCC nationals. eVisas.io files the eVisa with the correct government fee for your passport — no embassy queue, no paper forms, the right route shown before you pay.
