Guarantee Letter Required at Sharm El Sheikh for Indian Visitors

If you hold an Indian passport and are planning a trip to the sun, sea, and coral reefs of Sharm El Sheikh, there’s a critical message you may encounter when filling out your eVisa on visa2egypt.gov.eg:

“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 warning is not optional. It means that Indian nationals must have:

A letter of guarantee from an authorized Egyptian travel agent
An agent physically present at the airport (Sharm El Sheikh International Airport) to assist on arrival

Without those, airlines, immigration or eVisa systems may refuse you entry or boarding.

Why the Guarantee Letter & Agent Presence Matter

Legal Entry & Immigration Rules

Egyptian immigration policy requires that Indian travelers are supported by a licensed travel agency. The guarantee letter confirms that this agency will be responsible for you on arrival. Without it, the system may block your visa application or refuse your entry.

At Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, the same rules apply as at Cairo. A Meet & Assist agent must meet you before immigration, present the guarantee letter, and guide you through all formalities (immigration, luggage, customs).

Meet & Assist for Smoother Arrival

A “Meet & Assist” service does more than just holding your hand. It ensures:

The guarantee letter is correctly presented to immigration
You are guided through arrival procedures without confusion
You avoid delays, queues, or the risk of being refused entry

For Indian travelers especially, Meet & Assist is essential.
