An Egypt Visa is mandatory for Norwegian citizens traveling to Egypt unless visiting rare, visa-free areas. Egypt offers both single-entry and multiple-entry visas, depending on the purpose and duration of your stay.
For those planning short-term, multiple visits, it may be more cost-effective to apply for a multiple-entry visa. This allows for flexibility in travel plans, especially for frequent visitors.

Fill out the necessary details (full name, passport info, travel dates, etc.).

Before starting your application, it's essential to understand the specific e-Visa requirements for Norwegian citizens to ensure a smooth application process.
Passport: Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your intended entry date.
Blank Pages: Ensure your passport has at least one blank page for the visa stamp.

The cost of the Egypt e-Visa for Norwegian citizens varies depending on whether you're applying for a single-entry or multiple-entry visa. As of the latest update:
Single-entry visa: $25 USD
Multiple-entry visa: $60 USD
Please note that these fees are non-refundable, even if your application is denied. For up-to-date fee information, visit the Egypt e-Visa Fees page.
Aside from the e-Visa, Norwegian citizens can also opt for a visa on arrival at Egyptian airports. However, many travelers prefer the e-Visa to avoid long queues and waiting times at the airport. If you decide to go with the visa on arrival, you'll need to complete an entry form at the immigration counter.
The most common visa type for Norwegian travelers is the Egypt Tourist Visa, which allows a stay of up to 30 days. This visa can be extended if necessary, depending on the purpose of your visit. You can also opt for a multiple-entry tourist visa, enabling you to enter and exit Egypt multiple times within its validity period.
The typical processing time for an Egypt e-Visa is 3 to 7 business days. During peak tourist seasons or holidays, processing might take slightly longer. Once approved, your visa will be sent to your email, and you must print it before traveling.
Tip: It's always best to apply for your e-Visa before your planned travel dates to avoid any last-minute issues.
By following these guidelines and understanding the steps involved, Norwegian citizens can enjoy a smoother and more convenient process when applying for an Egypt e-Visa. With proper planning, you'll be ready to explore Egypt's wonders in no time!
