What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of arrival
  • Return or onward flight ticket
  • Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or host address)
  • Proof of sufficient funds for the stay (rarely checked)
  • No visa application form required for the visa-free stay
  • Travel health insurance: recommended
  • Biometrics/photo: not required for entry

Visa types

  • No visa required for tourism or short business visits of up to 90 days
  • Visitors wishing to work, study, or stay longer require a residency or work visa from Egypt's Ministry of Interior, arranged after arrival or through an Egyptian consulate

Entry conditions

  • Up to 90 days visa-free for tourism and short business purposes
  • Present passport and a completed arrival card at immigration; no separate visa counter visit is needed
  • Work or paid local employment is not permitted under this exemption
  • Extensions beyond 90 days can be requested at the Mogamma administrative complex in Cairo before the visa-free period ends

Fees & processing time

  • No fee for the 90-day visa-free entry
  • No processing time required
  • A residency extension at the Mogamma office typically costs around EGP 1,000-2,000 (roughly USD 20-40), with same-day to a few days processing

Tips for Hong Kong travelers

  • Keep your boarding pass and hotel confirmation on hand in case of spot checks at Cairo International Airport
  • Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (mfa.gov.eg) periodically updates entry rules; check before departure
  • There is no Egyptian embassy in Hong Kong; general enquiries can go through the consulate in mainland China
  • If extending your stay, go to the Mogamma complex early in the day, as queues build up quickly
  • Avoid overstaying, since remaining beyond 90 days without regularizing your status can incur fines
