If you are flying from India to Egypt via Sphinx International Airport, near the iconic Pyramids of Giza, you may hit a hurdle during your eVisa process. On the official site visa2egypt.gov.eg, you may 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 means Indian nationals cannot enter Egypt via Sphinx Airport without a Letter of Guarantee from an authorized travel agency, and without someone to meet you at the airport.

Why Indian Travelers Need a Letter of Guarantee at Sphinx Airport

Egyptian immigration requires Indian passport holders to have a local licensed travel agent who issues the Letter of Guarantee. This document confirms that the agency takes responsibility for your entry. Without it:

  • Airlines may refuse boarding in India.

  • Immigration at Sphinx may deny your entry.

  • You might be deported back at your own expense.

What is the Meet & Assist Service at Sphinx International Airport

A meet and assist service ensures your arrival is smooth and free of trouble. At Sphinx Airport this includes:

  • A representative meeting you before immigration.

  • Presentation of your Letter of Guarantee to border control.

  • Assistance through all arrival procedures.

  • Ensuring visa and entry formalities are completed properly and without delay.
