The country attracts millions of visitors, offering them a trip to the past thanks to its majestic temples and wonders of antiquity preserved to perfection. Pakistani travellers enticed by the land of the Pharaohs will be delighted to know that they can now travel to Egypt.

To learn more about the rules of travelling to Egypt from Pakistan, here are the latest updates concerning flights to and entry regulations of Egypt.

Can I travel to Egypt from Pakistan?

Yes, you can. 

Currently, there are no countries barred from entering Egypt. Egypt has also lifted the COVID-19 testing and vaccination requirements, meaning travellers will not need to present a negative test report or proof of vaccination.

Note that outbound international travel from Pakistan requires all travellers over the age of 18 to be fully vaccinated.

 

Egypt entry requirements

Required forms

All incoming international travellers arriving in the country would need to fill in a health declaration form for Egypt. You can fill the form here and remember to sign the form and present it to border control upon arrival.

Egyptian authorities have also made travel insurance a requirement for all international visitors. There are no formal coverage minimums or requirements for travel insurance, except that the duration of the coverage must last for the entire duration that you’re in Egypt.  

Testing 

Egypt’s COVID-19 entry restrictions were lifted on June 17, 2022. Since then, passengers travelling to Egypt do not need to take a COVID-19 test before departure or upon arrival.

Quarantine 

No, Egypt no longer required passengers to quarantine upon arrival.

However, anyone that tests positive for COVID-19 while in Egypt is required to quarantine for 14 days.

Visa requirements

Pakistan is unfortunately not on the list of Egypt’s visa-free countries.

Additionally, Pakistani travellers are also ineligible for the Egypt e-visa and visa on arrival. This means that to obtain an Egyptian visa, you should contact the nearest embassy or consulate.
