Travel Documents & Entry Requirements

Egypt: A Journey Down the Nile >>

Visa

There is a visa requirement for Egypt. Discover Corps will handle these arrangements, and you will receive the visa by hand upon arrival in Cairo. 

Passport

Must be valid for up to 6 months after your scheduled departure date. 

•  If you do not have a passport it is important to apply for one as soon as possible. It often takes four to six weeks to process the paperwork for a passport (and even longer during the peak travel season of March to August).

• If you have a passport, please note it needs to be valid for up to 6 months after your scheduled departure date. 

• It is also important that you have at least one completely blank page (with no stamps or visas) in your passport. This is a requirement for entry into many countries. If your passport is nearly full it might be a good idea to apply for additional pages.

• If you are a U.S. citizen, we recommend working with G3 Visas and Passports to make the process smooth and easy.

*Make several photocopies of your passport. Leave a copy at home with your family and carry a copy with you at all times when you are overseas. If you should lose your passport, having a copy will speed up the process of replacing it.

We highly recommend checking with your airlines for their specific boarding requirements.
