As of July 6, 2024, PCR testing requirements are no longer required!! All that is currently required of travelers is an Egypt e-Visa; the COVID-19 criteria for entry into Egypt, together with the additional rules and restrictions for visitors, have been deleted. In addition, passing a negative PCR test or filling out a passenger location form is no longer required in order to enter Egypt.
All passengers, including Egyptians, must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test to enter the country. The test must be issued a maximum of 72 hours before arrival.
Passengers from North America, South America, Thailand, Japan, China, Canada, Paris, Heathrow, Frankfurt, and London have a longer grace period. Their test can be taken up to 96 hours before arrival due to longer travel times. Children under six years old are exempt from this requirement.
You must follow all health precautions during your trip. You can get a PCR test upon arrival at Cairo International Airport. The test result must be a printed, signed, and stamped document.
Transit passengers must also have a negative PCR test, even if their final destination doesn’t require one. However, if you are only transiting through Cairo International Airport without a hotel stay, you do not need a test unless your final destination requires it.
If you arrive at the Sharm El-Sheikh, Hurghada, Taba, or Marsa Alam airports without a PCR test, you can get one upon arrival for $30 USD. You will be isolated at your hotel until you receive the results. If your test is positive, you must remain in your room while the Ministry of Health coordinates your care.
Kindly Notice: A negative PCR certificate expires as soon as the traveler uses it to get outside Egypt and you won’t be able to use it again to get back to Egypt.
Feel free to contact us for any inquiries and our team will be more than happy to assist you in the best way to guarantee that everything is clear for you before your arrival in Egypt.
