Introduction: Understanding Egypt Entry Requirements for Indian Travelers

Traveling from India to Egypt is a dream for many. The history of Cairo, the majesty of the Pyramids, and the treasures of the Nile are on almost every traveler’s bucket list. However, many Indian travelers are surprised when they apply for an online visa on the official Egypt eVisa website (visa2egypt.gov.eg) and see an error message:

“You will not be allowed to enter the country without the guarantee of an authorized tourist agent in Egypt. It must be present at the airport upon your arrival.”

This requirement is not optional—it is a strict rule for Indian passport holders. If you arrive in Cairo without an authorized agent to provide a letter of guarantee and meet you before immigration, you risk being denied entry or even deported back.

Why Do Indian Travelers Need a Letter of Guarantee in Egypt?

The Egyptian authorities require Indian citizens to have a local travel agency act as their guarantor. This means:

  • The travel agency must issue a letter of guarantee to immigration.

  • A company representative must be present at Cairo International Airport upon your arrival.

  • Without this guarantee, you will not be allowed to board your flight to Cairo, or you may be refused entry at the airport.

This policy ensures that travelers from India have an authorized and responsible local contact in Egypt during their stay.

What Happens If You Do Not Have an Authorized Agent?

If you do not have an authorized agent like Rimo Tours:

This is why booking a trusted and authorized service is not only helpful—it is mandatory.
