How do Canadians apply for an Egypt visa?

Canadians must apply for a visa through the Egyptian Embassy in Ottawa or the Egyptian Consulate General in Montreal. Here’s how to do it:

1.Contact the Egyptian embassy or consulate to find out if there are any specific requirements to apply for the visa you want based on your travel needs.

2.Prepare your documents: The following documents are typically required for Canadian citizens applying for an Egypt visa:

  • Valid Canadian passport: Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your planned entry into Egypt.

  • Visa application form: Obtain this form from the Egyptian embassy or consulate.

  • Passport-size photo: Ensure the photo is recent and follows Egypt visa photo guidelines (clear, full-face, neutral expression).

  • Proof of travel plans: This includes your flight itinerary and accommodation bookings to confirm your travel dates and stay.

  • Visa fee payment: Be ready to pay the required fees during your application process.

3.Submit your application: Once you've gathered all necessary documents, visit the embassy to submit them. Processing times may vary, so it’s advisable to apply at least a few weeks ahead of your travel date.

iVisa travel hack: Before exchanging your dollars or pounds in Egypt, check the daily currency rate to avoid losing out. While many exchanges are trustworthy, some might try to skim off the rate. In Egypt, anyone with a calculator can set up a currency exchange, so sticking to reputable spots ensures you get the best deal.
