Visa Status & Eligibility
Visa exemption may apply
No visa exemption. Pakistani passport holders require a pre-travel visa or qualify for conditional visa-on-arrival entry under GCC resident facilitation rules
Application notes
- Pakistan is not eligible for the Egypt eVisa portal — GCC-resident VOA is a separate port-of-entry route
- Apply via the official channel: visa2egypt.gov.eg
- Visa-on-arrival fee is USD 30 cash (raised March 2026). Confirm eligibility with your airline before travel
- Pakistani passport holders with a valid GCC residence permit (e.g. Saudi Iqama) valid at least 6 months beyond arrival may obtain a conditional 30-day tourist visa on arrival at Egyptian airports
- As the traveler holds a valid Bahrain GCC residency permit, they qualify for a conditional tourist visa on arrival at Egyptian airports instead of standard embassy processing, provided the GCC residence permit is valid for at least 6 months beyond arrival
- Pakistani passport holders without qualifying GCC residency or alternative visas must obtain a pre-travel sticker visa from an Egyptian Embassy or Consulate
