The short answer
Turkish citizens can get a visa on arrival to enter Egypt for stays of up to 30 days. A visa is issued at the border on arrival in Egypt. Processing takes if applying online rather than on arrival, the e-Visa application has to be created at least seven days before departure. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. The official source for this corridor is linked on this page and should be checked before booking. This was last checked on 8 September 2026.
