If you are Indian and planning a trip to Egypt, especially to the relaxing Red Sea destination of Sharm El Sheikh, there’s a very important rule you must follow. When filling your eVisa application on the official site (visa2egypt.gov.eg), Indian passport holders often see this 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 “guarantee letter” requirement is not something to ignore. Without a licensed travel agency providing this letter, plus an agent present to assist you on arrival, you risk being denied boarding, refused entry, or even turned back at immigration.
Why Does This Guarantee Letter Matter at Sharm El Sheikh Airport
-
It’s a formal proof to immigration that a local, authorized Egyptian agent will be responsible during your arrival process.
-
Sharm El Sheikh Airport immigration insists on seeing this letter from licensed agents.
-
Without it, airlines might refuse to allow you to board your flight.
What the Meet & Assist Service Does for You
Using a Meet and Assist service ensures your arrival is smooth, especially when rules are strict. For Indian travelers arriving at Sharm El Sheikh:
-
A representative meets you before immigration (to avoid waiting or confusion).
-
They present the guarantee letter to immigration officials.
-
They guide you through all arrival formalities (immigration, luggage, customs).
-
They help avoid delays or risk of being refused entry.
