Who this applies to, and exceptions
What can change this answer
Holding another visa or a residence permit, your age or your port of entry can open a different route.
These routes are conditional. Every stated requirement must be met; selecting a document does not confirm eligibility.
Do you hold one of these?
None of the listed conditions match this choice.
- Conditional · Prior approval needed
Charter arrivals must leave on a charter flight; scheduled-flight arrivals must leave on a scheduled flight. Confirm your itinerary with the carrier.
- Conditional · Visa on arrival$36
A valid, previously used multiple-entry visa from a listed issuer permits an arrival visa. Carry a confirmed return ticket and sufficient funds. The airline excludes maids, servants and workers from this concession. Allow USD 36 and confirm the airport payment method.
- The document must be valid on entry.
- The document must have been used before.
- The visa must allow multiple entries.
- Conditional · Visa on arrival$36
Residence and re-entry entitlement from a listed issuer must remain valid for at least 6 calendar months on arrival. Carry a confirmed return ticket and sufficient funds. The airline excludes maids, servants and workers from this concession. Allow USD 36 and confirm the airport payment method.
- The document must be valid on entry.
- Conditional · Visa on arrival$36
International-organisation employees and their families, Egyptian spouses or children of an Egyptian mother, and qualifying transport crews may use the published arrival exception with supporting documents. Allow USD 36 and confirm the airport payment method.
Follow the stated main route; confirm any alternative arrival route.
Where the sources differ
The airport QR service and cash-sticker guidance differ in fees, payment and airport coverage. This does not make a consular passport eligible for either route.
This classifies the recorded evidence; it does not announce a rule change. The disagreement remains unresolved and the displayed conservative rule is retained.
