Arriving in Hurghada as an Indian Traveler
Hurghada International Airport is one of Egypt’s busiest airports, welcoming thousands of tourists every year to the Red Sea coast. If you are traveling with an Indian passport, you may face a unique challenge before your trip even begins. When applying for an Egypt eVisa through the official government portal visa2egypt.gov.eg, many Indian travelers receive the 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 requirement often confuses travelers. But what does it actually mean, and how can you make sure your trip to Egypt goes smoothly?
Why Indian Travelers Need a Letter of Guarantee at Hurghada Airport
Egyptian immigration requires that Indian nationals must be met at the airport by an authorized local travel agent. This agent must provide a letter of guarantee confirming responsibility for the traveler’s stay. Without this letter, travelers may face serious issues:
-
You may not be able to board your flight.
-
Upon arrival, immigration may refuse entry.
-
In some cases, passengers are deported back immediately.
This is why planning your trip through a trusted authorized Egyptian travel agency is essential.
