Emirates E-Visa For Egyptian Nationals
Planning your Egypt to UAE trip in 2026? If you hold an Egyptian passport, you'll need a Emirates visa for Egyptian citizens before you fly.

The application is fully digital, processing takes 3 to 4 working days for standard route or 24 hours for urgent, and several visa categories are available depending on your trip purpose.

Egyptians do not qualify for visa-free entry or visa on arrival to the UAE — every Egyptian traveller needs an approved e-visa in their inbox before boarding. We handle the application from your first message to your e-visa delivery, with document review at every step to catch the small errors that cause most rejections.
Do Egyptian Citizens Need a Visa for UAE & Dubai in 2026?
Yes. Egyptian passport holders require a pre-approved visa to enter the United Arab Emirates — this applies to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, and all seven emirates. There is no visa-on-arrival, visa-free entry, or e-gate facility for Egyptian citizens at any UAE airport. The visa must be issued and confirmed before you board your flight.
The pre-approval requirement applies regardless of whether you are travelling for:
- Tourism or leisure (the most common reason)
- Visiting family or friends in Dubai or other emirates
- Business meetings, conferences, or exhibitions
- Connecting flights through Dubai or Abu Dhabi (transit visa needed if you exit the airport)
- Employment in the UAE (sponsored work visa)
Exception: Egyptian passport holders who already have a valid UAE residence visa do not need a separate visit visa to re-enter — they use their residence visa and Emirates ID at immigration.
Emirates visa types for Egypt citizens
The UAE government offers several visa categories for Egyptian travellers. The right one for you depends on your trip purpose and how long you plan to stay.
1. UAE Tourist Visa for Egyptian Citizens (30 or 60 days)
The most popular Dubai visa for Egyptian travellers. Designed for leisure, sightseeing, and short holidays. Available as single-entry (one entry, one exit) or multiple-entry (unlimited entries within validity). Most Egyptian first-time visitors choose the 30-day single-entry tourist visa.
2. UAE Visit Visa (30, 60, or 90 days)
For Egyptians visiting family or friends in the UAE, attending events, or longer leisure stays. Visit visas can be sponsored by a UAE-based resident or company. 60-day visit visas extendable for another 60 days while you're inside the UAE.
3. UAE Transit Visa for Egyptians (48 or 96 hours)
For Egyptian travellers connecting through Dubai International (DXB) or Abu Dhabi International (AUH) on the way elsewhere. The 48-hour transit visa is free if booked through Emirates, Etihad, or other UAE-based airlines; the 96-hour visa allows a longer layover and exits the airport.
4. UAE Business Visa
For Egyptian professionals attending meetings, conferences, exhibitions, or business negotiations in the UAE. Typically valid 14 days visa, single entry, sponsored by a UAE company or business contact.
5. UAE Employment Visa (Work Visa)
For Egyptian citizens with a confirmed job offer from a UAE employer. The employment visa is sponsored by the employer and is part of a multi-step process leading to UAE residency.
6. UAE Multi-Entry Tourist Visa (5-year validity)
For frequent Egyptian travellers to the UAE. Valid for 5 years with each stay limited to 90 days, extendable for another 90 days. Popular with Egyptian business travellers and Egyptians with family in the UAE.
UAE Visa Requirements for Egyptian Citizens
The standard document checklist for UAE visa applications is short. The visa requirements for Egyptian citizens to Dubai UAE 2026 remain consistent with 2025 rules — no major policy changes have been announced. Sponsored or business cases need a few extras.
Standard documents for UAE tourist & visit visas
- Egyptian passport — colour scan of bio page, valid for at least 6 months from your UAE arrival date
- Recent passport-size photograph against a plain white background, taken within the last 3 months
- Confirmed return flight ticket (or itinerary if not yet ticketed)
- Hotel booking or accommodation confirmation for the duration of stay
- Email address and phone number for receiving the e-visa
Additional documents for sponsored applicants
- Sponsor's Emirates ID (front and back) — must be valid
- Sponsor's tenancy contract (Ejari) or labour contract proving UAE residence
- Proof of relationship — marriage certificate, birth certificate, or family book (attested by Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UAE consulate where required)
- Sponsor's salary certificate (typically required for spouse and parent sponsorship — minimum AED 4,000 to AED 15,000 depending on relationship, per September 2025 UAE tiered salary system)
Additional documents for UAE business visa applications
- Invitation letter from the UAE host company on company letterhead
- Trade licence copy of the inviting UAE company
- Egyptian company letter (if travelling on behalf of an Egyptian employer) on company letterhead
Important: Egyptian passports must have a minimum 6 months validity from the date of arrival in the UAE. Passports expiring within 6 months will result in automatic rejection. Renew your passport before applying if you are close to this threshold.
Proof of funds: Per UAE 2026 immigration rules (carried over from 2025), applicants may be asked to demonstrate sufficient funds — typically a minimum of AED 3,000 (~14,250 EGP) — through a recent bank statement.
Emirates Visa Cost for Egyptian Citizens in EGP (Dubai Visa Cost & Tourist Visa Pricing)
Below is the consolidated 2026 fee table for UAE visas applicable to Egyptian travellers. These figures cover both the cost of UAE tourist visa for Egyptian citizens 2026 in EGP and the broader Dubai visa cost for Egyptian citizens 2026 — pricing is the same whether the visa is issued for Dubai or another emirate. Cost figures remain largely consistent with 2025 rates, with minor adjustments for currency conversion.
Each fee shown is the all-in price you pay us — government fee, VAT, and our service charge combined into one number. Government fees are set by UAE federal authorities and apply uniformly to all applicants.
EGP rates note: EGP figures are approximate — based on May 2026 rate (1 AED ≈ 13.3 EGP). Exact EGP figure depends on the day's exchange rate when you pay. We confirm the locked EGP figure in your quote before payment.
Overstay penalty: AED 50 per day with NO grace period. File extensions before your visa expires.
How to Apply for an Emirates Visa from Egypt — Step by Step
The entire application is online. No embassy visit or in-person appointment is required.
Step 1: Visit the website.
Open our Emirates Visa application portal and choose Egypt from the country list. The system loads visa categories, processing options, and pricing specific to Egyptian passport holders.
Step 2: Choose your visa type and entry option
Select the UAE visa that fits your trip — tourist (30 or 60 days), visit, transit (48 or 96 hours), or business — and pick single-entry or multiple-entry. Most Egyptian first-time visitors choose the 30-day single-entry tourist visa.
Step 3: Fill in your personal and passport details
Complete the application form with your personal information and Egyptian passport details. Your name must match your passport spelling exactly — even small differences (extra space, hyphen, or initial) cause automatic rejection by UAE immigration.
Step 4: Upload your documents
Upload a clear scan of your Egyptian passport bio page, a recent passport-size photograph against a white background, and your flight or hotel booking confirmation. Our team reviews every upload before submission to catch any document quality issues that would cause rejection.
Step 5: Pay securely
Pay by credit card, debit card, or other major payment method. The total is shown in EGP at checkout — no hidden conversion charges. We confirm the locked exchange rate before you complete payment.
Step 6: Receive your application confirmation by email
You receive an instant email confirmation with your application reference number. Choose your processing speed:
- Standard processing: 3 to 4 working days
- Express processing: 24 to 48 hours
- Super Express processing: 3 to 4 hours (subject to slot availability — confirmed before payment)
Step 7: Download your approved Emirates visa
Once approved, your e-visa is available for download from your application dashboard. Print a copy and carry it with you — Cairo airport check-in counters and UAE immigration officers may request the printed e-visa even though digital copies are technically accepted.
Why Egyptian Travellers Apply Through Our Emirates Visa Portal
Egyptian travellers have many options for getting a UAE visa — what makes our portal different is the combination of speed, transparency, and document review built into a fully self-service flow.
Document review at every upload
Every document you upload — passport scan, photo, flight booking — is reviewed by our visa specialists before submission. The most common rejection causes (low-quality scans, name mismatches, expired passports, wrong photo background) are caught and flagged before they cost you the non-refundable government fee.
Three processing speeds — choose what your timeline needs
- Standard processing covers most leisure trips planned 1-2 weeks in advance.
- Express processing handles urgent business or family visit cases within 24-48 hours.
- Super Express delivers in 3-4 hours when GDRFA / ICP express slots are available — confirmed before you pay so you don't pay for speed that can't be delivered.
Specialist focus on UAE inbound visas
This is what we do every day. Our team has filed thousands of UAE visa applications for Egyptian travellers — we know the document standards expected by UAE immigration, the common rejection reasons specific to Egyptian passport applicants, and the attestation requirements for Egyptian-issued documents.
Honest disclosure: We are an independent DTCM licensed visa tourism agency. We are not the UAE government, GDRFA, ICP, or the UAE Embassy in Cairo. Our job is to handle your application end-to-end through official channels — accurately, quickly, and with full transparency on what you pay.
UAE Embassy in Egypt — For In-Person Applications
Most Egyptian applicants obtain their UAE visa entirely online through emiratesvisa.in without needing to visit an embassy. However, in certain situations — such as complex sponsorship cases, employment visa inquiries, or lost travel documents — the UAE Embassy in Cairo provides consular support for Egyptian nationals.
Details
Applying online through emiratesvisa.in is usually faster and more convenient than visiting the embassy. There is no need for appointments or travel within Egypt, and approvals can be received in as little as 24 hours with Express processing. The embassy should only be considered if your case requires direct consular assistance.
UAE Urgent / Express Visa for Egyptian Citizens
Need a UAE visa within 24 hours? Express processing is available for time-critical travel — last-minute business meetings, family emergencies, urgent connecting flights. The express service costs additional government and service fees and requires advance confirmation that an urgent slot is available.
Express applications follow the same process as standard, compressed into a single working day:
- Document submission: morning of your application day
- Review and filing: same day
- Processing: same day or next morning
- E-visa delivered: within 24 hours of payment
