Visa requirements for Egyptian citizens explained
Visa requirements for Egyptian citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed on citizens of Egypt by the authorities of other states.
As of 15 June 2024, Egyptian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 55 countries and territories, ranking the Egyptian passport 87th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.[1]
However, according to the most up-to-date list compiled on this wiki, Egyptian passport holders can enter 72 countries (not counting dependent and partially unrecognized territories) with Visa on arrival, or easy eVisas or complete visa free under certain conditions (See table and map below). In addition, several states have updated their rules recently to allow holders of valid Schengen / EU, UK, USA, Japan and Australia visa and residence permits to enter visa free under certain conditions, as listed below in the table.
Some countries require transit visas even if the Egyptian national remains airside (i.e. does not go through passport control). These include: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and a minority of European states.
