Introduction: Understanding Egypt Entry Rules for Indian Travelers

If you are an Indian traveler planning to visit Egypt, you may come across an unexpected challenge when applying for an Egypt eVisa. Many applicants receive this error message during the online application process:

“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 statement often confuses travelers. What it really means is that Indian passport holders must have the support of an authorized Egyptian travel agency. Without this, your entry can be denied—even if you already hold an eVisa.

Why Do Indian Travelers Need a Letter of Guarantee?

Egypt requires Indian nationals to be backed by an official agency. This process involves a letter of guarantee issued by an authorized travel agent. The document assures Egyptian immigration that the visitor has full support during their stay.

Without this guarantee:

  • You may not be allowed to board your flight.

  • You risk being deported upon arrival in Cairo.

For this reason, booking a meet and assist service at Cairo Airport is not optional—it is essential.

Meet and Assist Service at Cairo Airport

Authorized agents like Rimo Tours provide full meet and assist at Cairo Airport. Our team welcomes you before immigration, presents the guarantee letter, and ensures your arrival process is completed smoothly.

Services include:

  • Greeting before passport control.

  • Presenting your guarantee letter to immigration.

  • Guiding you through the entry process.

  • Helping with luggage and airport transfers.

This assistance is not just a luxury—it’s a legal requirement for Indian travelers.

Applying for the Egypt eVisa

Indian nationals must apply for their visa online via the official portal. However, as noted, the application system will block you unless you select an authorized travel agency.
