  • 2 passport photos
  • Proof of onward/return travel

  • Business visa: for short business trips, similar validity to the visitor visa
  • Transit visa: for layovers in Nassau en route to a third country

How to apply online

  • Complete the Bahamas visa application through the online portal or download the form from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website
  • Since Egypt has no resident Bahamian mission, submit the application and supporting documents by courier to the nearest Bahamian consulate or through an authorized visa agent
  • Pay the visa fee as instructed (bank transfer or money order, since in-person card payment may not be available)
  • Wait for approval and passport return by courier

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately USD 100-135 depending on visa category
  • Courier/handling costs on top of the consular fee, since Egypt has no local mission
  • Standard processing time: 2-3 weeks, longer if documents must be re-submitted
  • No official express option published for this route

Tips for Egypt travelers

  • Start the process at least a month before travel, since courier handling between Egypt and the Bahamas adds significant time
  • Keep copies of every document sent by courier, in case of loss or a request for resubmission
  • Common rejection reasons include unclear proof of funds or a missing confirmed return ticket
  • Book refundable flights and hotels until the visa is confirmed
  • Any stay extension must be requested from the Bahamas Department of Immigration in Nassau before the current visa expires
