Flight itinerary for your Egypt eVisa — ready in 15 minutes.
Egypt offers two visa tracks most visitors don't know exist: the standard eVisa ($30 single, $65 multiple) covers the full country — Cairo, Luxor, the Nile. The Sinai-only entry (free (no charge at Taba/Sharm border points)) covers Sharm El-Sheikh and Dahab but stops at the Sinai border. Know which you need before you fly. Both require a documented return itinerary. Get yours in 15 minutes before you apply.
What you need to know
What is a flight itinerary — and why does Egypt's eVisa portal require one?
Egypt's visa process offers two paths: the eVisa online (visa2egypt.gov.eg, 5–7 business days, available for 75+ nationalities) and a visa on arrival at Cairo International, Sharm El-Sheikh, Luxor, and Alexandria airports ($25, some nationalities only). Both routes have one thing in common — Egyptian immigration expects to see proof of your return or onward travel. Buying real non-refundable tickets before you have your visa confirmed — especially for a trip that might involve Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea — ties up significant money. Flightinary generates your itinerary from live GDS data in 15 minutes, for a fraction of the cost.
What a flight itinerary is
A formally structured travel document showing your complete route into and out of Egypt — real airline names, genuine IATA flight numbers, correct airport codes, and confirmed travel dates — produced from live aviation data. Not a screenshot. Not a fabricated PDF. A credible, professionally formatted document that matches what Egyptian eVisa officers and immigration staff expect.
Why not just buy a real ticket?
Egypt is a popular destination with competitive airfares — but planning a multi-city Egypt trip (Cairo → Luxor → Aswan → Hurghada → Sharm El-Sheikh) often involves adjusting dates as you research what you want to see. Buying non-refundable tickets before your eVisa is approved, and before your itinerary is finalised, is an unnecessary financial risk. An itinerary from Flightinary costs a fraction of a ticket and gives you full flexibility.
Does Flightinary's itinerary work for Egypt eVisa submissions?
Yes. The Egypt eVisa portal (visa2egypt.gov.eg) accepts a flight itinerary as proof of return or onward travel. Flightinary itineraries are generated from real GDS aviation data — real flight numbers, genuine airline IATA codes, correct airport identifiers — and formatted for digital upload to the Egyptian eVisa system.
The process
How to get your Egypt eVisa flight itinerary in 3 steps
From search to a submission-ready document — the entire process takes under 20 minutes.
Search your route
Enter your departure city, your Egyptian destination — Cairo (CAI), Sharm El-Sheikh (SSH), Luxor (LXR), or Hurghada (HRG) — and your travel dates. We pull real flights from the GDS including EgyptAir, Emirates, Lufthansa, British Airways, and all other carriers serving Egypt.
2 minutesPlace your order
Pay a small service fee — not the ticket price. Flightinary generates your itinerary instantly from live aviation data, with your name, real flight numbers, IATA codes, and correct routing. Delivered in 15 minutes. If you're doing a Sinai-only stay, your entry airport should be SSH (Sharm El-Sheikh) not CAI — this affects which visa track you need.
15 min deliverySubmit with your eVisa application
Upload the itinerary to visa2egypt.gov.eg alongside your passport scan, photo, and hotel booking. Pay the eVisa fee ($30 single entry, $65 multiple entry). Processing takes 5–7 business days.

Full document checklist
Everything you need for an Egypt eVisa application
Egypt's eVisa portal is well-designed and covers most document requirements online. Have your documents ready before you begin — the form requires uploads partway through and the session can expire.

How your nationality affects your Egypt eVisa application
Egypt's eVisa is available to 75+ nationalities online and has a generally low refusal rate. Some nationalities can also use the visa on arrival at Cairo International, Sharm El-Sheikh, Luxor, and Alexandria airports. Nationalities not covered by the eVisa must apply at an Egyptian embassy or consulate. Understanding which category you fall into helps you plan your application correctly.

🟡 Slightly higher scrutiny — Nigeria (~5%), India (~4%)?
Ensure your complete document pack is uploaded at the first submission — particularly your flight itinerary, hotel booking, and bank statements. An itinerary from Flightinary with genuine flight numbers and IATA codes presents as a credible travel document. Also clarify your entry airport — CAI for Cairo, SSH for Sharm El-Sheikh, LXR for Luxor — so your visa track (full eVisa vs Sinai-only) matches your itinerary.
🟢 Low scrutiny — UK, US, Germany, Australia (~2%)?
Supplement your eVisa application with consistent financial proof — bank statements spanning 3 months showing a stable balance, not a single pre-application deposit. Ensure your flight itinerary dates align with your hotel booking and that your return flight is clearly shown. Inconsistencies between document dates are a common source of follow-up requests.

Stay rules — explained

The Egypt eVisa permits 30 days per entry. Multiple-entry eVisa holders ($60) can make multiple visits within the 3-month validity window — useful for travellers combining Egypt with Jordan or the wider Middle East region. A special, cheaper Sinai-only entry (approximately $15 at some Red Sea ports) covers the Sinai Peninsula only and does not permit travel to Cairo or other parts of Egypt.
Days per entry
Standard Egypt eVisa (single or multiple entry) grants 30 days per entry into Egypt. Period counts from the date of each entry.
Months validity (multiple entry)
The multiple-entry eVisa ($60) is valid for 3 months from issue — make as many 30-day entries as needed within that window.
USD Sinai-only entry fee (Free)
A free entry option at Sinai border points for the Sinai Peninsula only (Sharm El-Sheikh / Dahab) — does not cover Cairo, Luxor, or the Nile Valley.
