Egypt will raise the cost of its single-entry visa by 10 percent, with the new fee taking effect on January 1, 2027, according to ndtv.com. The revised charge will be $33, up from the current amount, VisasNews reports. The change applies to travelers entering Egypt on a single-entry visa.
The fee increase is expected to raise the overall cost of a trip to Egypt for foreign visitors, including tourists from India. Esquire India reports that the hike may affect Indian travelers planning visits to the country from 2027 onward, though the material reviewed does not detail any additional changes to entry rules or visa categories.
Egypt's single-entry visa is used by short-term visitors, and the adjustment reflects a modest increase relative to the current fee. The reports do not specify whether other visa types, such as multiple-entry or transit visas, will see similar changes, nor do they indicate the reason behind the increase.
Travelers planning trips to Egypt in 2027 should confirm the applicable fee with Egyptian consulates or official visa channels closer to their departure date, as the reported figure comes from news outlets rather than a published government notice in the material reviewed.
What to watch next: whether Egyptian authorities formally announce the new fee schedule and whether other visa categories are adjusted alongside it.
