Migration card - Egypt

When your plane lands on Egyptian lands, before you qualify to visit this country, you will need to purchase a visa and fill out the migration card of Egypt.

The Egyptian visa looks like an ordinary stamp, it costs $ 15 and is pasted onto a free passport page. This visa gives you the right to stay in the country for exactly one month. If you do not keep within the deadline, it can be extended for an additional fee. The delay of a tourist visa is punishable by a fine of $ 17 and you will have to fly home already on a scheduled flight from Cairo, because you will lose the right to charter flights .
