For Indian travelers, planning a trip to Egypt can be exciting, but there is one important step that often surprises visitors. When applying for an Egyptian eVisa through the official portal, many receive an error 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 means that to enter Egypt, Indian nationals must be supported by a licensed Egyptian travel agency that provides both a letter of guarantee and a meet and assist service at the airport. Without this, travelers risk being denied boarding or deported upon arrival.

Why Is the Letter of Guarantee Required?

The Egyptian government has implemented this system to ensure that visitors from certain countries, including India, have proper support during arrival. The letter of guarantee is an official document provided by an authorized travel agency confirming they will be responsible for the traveler while in Egypt.

At Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, immigration officers will request this letter before stamping your entry. If you arrive without it, you may not be allowed to enter Egypt.

How the Meet and Assist Service Helps

The process may sound complicated, but the solution is straightforward. With Rimo Tours, a licensed Egyptian agency with offices inside major airports, including Sharm El Sheikh, you can:

  • Receive the letter of guarantee before your flight.

  • Have a representative meet you at the airport before immigration.

  • Get assistance with arrival formalities, ensuring no delays.

  • Travel stress-free knowing you have a trusted agent handling the process.

Risks of Traveling Without an Authorized Agent

Many travelers underestimate this requirement. However, without a valid letter of guarantee and an agent present at the airport, airlines may prevent you from boarding your flight. Even if you board, immigration officers can refuse entry and send you back.

This is why booking in advance with a reliable travel agency is essential.
