Visiting Egypt and need to stay longer? Here’s how you can extend your Egypt e-Visa — fast and simple. Your tourist e-Visa allows a stay of up to 30 days. You have two options if you want to extend your stay: Option 1 is to renew from outside Egypt. Leave the country before your visa expires, apply again from your home country (or anywhere), and once approved — return. This is often the quickest way. Option 2 is to extend while in Egypt. You’ll need to visit the immigration office in-person — either at the Abbasiya office (in Police Academy, Abbasiya, Cairo) or the Mugamma Building at Tahrir Square. Offices are open roughly 8 AM to mid-afternoon, and note that Fridays are closed and Saturdays are for pickups. If you choose the in-Egypt extension, bring your current passport, your existing e-Visa, a passport-size photo, your local address in Egypt, and the extension fee in cash. You might need to visit the office twice — first for application and biometrics, then return the next day to collect your extension. Important: Don’t overstay. Overstaying without extension can mean fines or a travel ban. Plan ahead and enjoy your time in Egypt.
