Planning a trip from India to Egypt is exciting, but many travelers face a sudden roadblock when applying for their Egypt eVisa. If you are an Indian passport holder, you may have already seen the error message on the official visa2egypt.gov.eg website:

“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 message can be confusing, but it simply means that Indian nationals need an authorized Egyptian travel agency to provide a letter of guarantee and meet and assist service at Cairo International Airport. Without this, you may not be allowed to board your flight or could even face deportation on arrival.

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

Egypt requires Indian passport holders to have additional support when applying for their eVisa. The letter of guarantee from a licensed travel agency confirms that a local company takes responsibility for your entry into the country. Immigration officials at Cairo Airport require this document before clearing your arrival.

This rule is not just a formality — it is mandatory. Without an authorized agent meeting you at the airport, you risk being denied entry.

Meet and Assist Service for Indian Travelers

A meet and assist service at Cairo Airport is essential for Indian travelers. Here’s how it works:

  • An airport representative greets you before immigration.

  • They present your letter of guarantee to the authorities.

  • They guide you through all arrival procedures until you exit the airport.

This service is the safest way to ensure a smooth arrival in Cairo and avoid unexpected problems at immigration.
