Egypt and India share amicable relationships. However, you can only explore the country, visit a relative, or go on a business trip with a proper visa for Egypt.

The type of Egypt visa required depends on the applicant's nationality, the duration of the stay, and the purpose of the visit. Indian citizens do not qualify to apply for an Egypt E Visa online. Thus, applicants must get an Egyptian visa through the embassy or consulate.
