Indian Travelers and the Letter of Guarantee at Hurghada Airport

If you are an Indian passport holder planning to arrive in Egypt through Hurghada International Airport, there is an important immigration rule you must know. When applying for your Egyptian eVisa at the official government site visa2egypt.gov.eg, many travelers receive 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 error means you need the support of a licensed Egyptian travel agency that is authorized to operate inside the airport. Without it, you may be denied boarding at your departure point or refused entry on arrival in Egypt.

Why Indian Travelers Need a Letter of Guarantee

Egypt requires Indian travelers to enter the country under the guarantee of a local tour operator. This rule ensures visitors have reliable arrangements during their trip. The letter of guarantee must be presented to immigration at Hurghada Airport before you can proceed to baggage claim or customs.

If you attempt to travel without it:

  • Airlines may refuse to issue your boarding pass.

  • Immigration at Hurghada may stop you and send you back.

  • You will not be able to complete your arrival formalities.
