You cannot apply for an Egyptian eVisa if your passport is expiring soon. Your passport must be valid for more than 6 months from the date you arrive in Egypt.
What You Need to Know
The Egyptian government requires that all travelers hold a passport with at least 6 months of validity beyond their intended arrival date. If your passport does not meet this requirement, your eVisa application will likely be denied, even if all other information is correct. Renewing your passport before applying is essential to avoid delays or rejection.
Our Recommendation
If your passport is close to expiring, renew it before submitting your eVisa application. Once your new passport is issued, you can safely apply, knowing your document meets Egypt’s validity requirements.
A Quick Tip
Check your passport’s expiration date before applying. If there’s any doubt about the 8-month requirement, renew your passport in advance to ensure a smooth application process.
