To Norwegian travelers, the endless beauty of the Nile and the primeval mysteries of the pyramids have never been as close. The digital entry system has enabled the citizens of Norway to receive their travel authorization online, which has eliminated the necessity to visit the embassy in Oslo. This guide will give a clear stepwise analysis of the Egypt eVisa from Norwegian Tourists, to make your trip hassle-free.

Do Norwegian Citizens Need a Visa for Egypt?

Yes, Norwegian passport holders are required to have a visa to enter Egypt. Fortunately, Norway is among the eligible countries for the Egypt eVisa. This electronic system allows you to apply for your permit from the comfort of your home, receiving your authorization via email before you board your flight to Cairo, Hurghada, or Sharm El Sheikh.

What are the Egypt eVisa Types Available?

Depending on your travel plans, you can choose between two main Egypt tourist eVisas:

• Single-Entry Tourist eVisa: This allows you to enter Egypt once and stay for up to 30 days. It is ideal for a standard holiday or a diving trip to the Red Sea.

• Multiple-Entry Tourist eVisa: If you plan to visit Egypt, travel to a neighboring country, and then return, this is your best option. It is valid for 180 days and permits multiple entries, with each stay capped at 30 days.

How Fast is the Egypt eVisa Processing Time?

We understand that timing is critical for international travel. Norwegian travelers can choose from three processing speeds:

• Standard Processing: 5 - 7 Working Days (Perfect for early planners).

• Rush Processing: 3 - 5 Working Days (Ideal for trips departing soon).

• Super Rush Processing: 2 - 3 Working Days (The fastest option for urgent or last-minute travel).

What documents do I need to travel to Egypt?

The Egypt E-Visa application process is simple and requires minimal paperwork. The primary requirements are:

• Passport Bio Page: A high-quality scan or photo of the page containing your personal details and photograph.

• Passport Validity: Your Norwegian passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of arrival in Egypt.

What are the Best Currency Exchange Options in Egypt?

Although the Norwegian Krone (NOK) is a strong currency, it is not a well-traded currency in Egypt. A backup currency (US Dollars or Euro) will be strongly suggested.

• At the Airport: There are various bank kiosks (such as Banque Misr or National Bank of Egypt) at the arrivals hall which provide fair and regulated rates.

• ATM: The city is full of ATMs, and these are also present in tourist destinations; you can withdraw the Egyptian Pounds (EGP) directly with your Norwegian debit card.

• Exchange Offices: Look for official "Bureau de Change" signs in city centers for competitive rates.

Is Egypt Safe for Norwegian Tourists?

The state of Egypt is mostly safe in relation to foreign tourists, and the level of security is great in such big tourist destinations as Luxor, Aswan and resorts of the Red Sea. The Egyptian government is highly concerned with the safety of tourists, and can sometimes be visible and have a visible security presence (Tourist Police) at historical sites. Like in any major global destination, there are general precautions to follow: this would mean that you should not be careless in unfamiliar markets and also use well-known transport services, such as those suggested by egypt-eta.com.

What Essential Items Should I Carry When Traveling?

In order to make the journey between the Norwegian climate and the Egyptian desert comfortable, we suggest to carry:

• The Printed eVisa: This is not negotiable to enter the border.

• Sun Protection: high-SP factor sunscreen, polar sunglasses, one wide-brimmed hat.

• Modest Clothing: Light, breathable (linen or cotton) clothes that cover shoulders and knees to visit the mosque or go to the country.

• Portable Power Bank: To have your phone charged to take you through photo-filled sightseeing days.

• Personal Medication: Pharmacies are great, but it is always good to have your personal kit of first-aid.

Do I Need an Egypt eVisa for Minors and Children?

Yes. Every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own individual visa to enter Egypt. This includes infants and children traveling on their parents' passports (though most Norwegian children now have their own separate passports). When applying through egypt-eta.com, you will need to submit a separate application and a scan of the passport bio page for each minor. Our team provides specific guidance for families to ensure all applications are processed together.

Can I Change My Arrival Date After My eVisa is Approved?

Your Egypt eVisa is valid within a definite time frame (typically 90 days of single entry). You are allowed to start your journey to Egypt on any date that falls in that window. In case there is a change in your travel plans by a few days or weeks then you do not need to re-apply, the new arrival date must not be after the expiry date of the visa. But in case of the delay of your trip exceeding 90 days of validity, you have to reapply with the help of our portal to receive a new authorization.
