Egyptian visa

[gsmt47471015]

I'm just asking if anybody has sailed into Egypt and has knowledge of the visa process,  IE.  Do you have to obtain prior to boarding or is it completed on board, lots of conflicting stories emerging and do not want to be denied boarding at Southampton ,my instinct tells me that it gets dealt with on board but cant find a definitive answer?

It may become academic if things escalate in that area but its a few months away yet.

Many thanks

It is about 8 years since I went to Egypt on a cruise but visas were dealt with onboard without any input from individual passengers. I have flown there a few times, again many years ago and visas were available on arrival at the airport from an official with a suitcase who I think was genuine.

I went on a river cruise on the Nile in about 2018, and I can't recall that I needed a visa. But my memory is rubbish these days, and maybe the process was just so painless that I've forgotten all about it.

When we have arrived at an Egyptian airport I remember you had to pay for a 'visa' to get your passport stamped. It did feel as if it was just an excuse to get £10 off you.

I don't remember having to do anything at all on a cruise

When I did the Nile Cruise, we were met by a tour rep at Cairo Airport who took us to a desk to get the Visa sorted... Utter chaos 😂

When we flew in a few years ago, £10 Egyptian ( it may have been $10 US )was paid in cash, where it went, who can say.🤣
