For the relevant traveller scope, is a visa, electronic authorisation, visa on arrival or no advance visa normally required?

A visa is needed in advance: the Washington DC consulate lists the five-year Entry Visa among its visa requirements and advises visa applicants (except listed nationalities) to get the visa in advance from the Egyptian consulate serving their state of residency. It is not available for Sudanese passport holders or applicants requiring pre-approval.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not say whether three months applies per entry or per rolling period.

What important funds, accommodation, invitation, insurance, onward-travel or passport evidence may be required?

For the five-year multiple-entry visa, the official Egyptian Consulate instructions require the applicant to choose a tourist or business purpose and provide the corresponding documents listed above for US or non-US passport holders. Those application lists include a completed form and photo, a passport with an empty visa page and at least six months’ validity on arrival, round-trip ticket or itinerary, and hotel booking or host details. Business applicants also provide a company purpose/financial-guarantee letter and an Egyptian company or organisation invitation; non-US applicants are additionally asked for qualifying US residence or visa-status documents. These are consular application requirements in the stated jurisdiction, not a proven checklist of documents that every traveller must show on arrival.

Limits of the record
  • The reviewed consular page cross-refers to tourist and business application lists but does not establish a universal on-arrival border-document checklist for every five-year visa holder or every consular jurisdiction. The fee is stated separately and is not treated as border evidence.

Where/how is permission obtained when required, and under what important circumstances can a stay be extended or changed?

Apply at the Egyptian Consular Section in Washington DC, which only accepts applications by mail or in person from the states it serves (Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington DC, West Virginia). The fee is $707, paid in cash or by cashier's cheque from a US bank. The visa is not available to Sudanese passport holders or to applicants requiring pre-approval. The official source does not state whether a stay can be extended or changed.
