Below is every published charge, what each one covers, and how to decide which route suits your trip. ### What does each Egypt visa category cost at VFS? VFS Global accepts sticker-visa applications on behalf of the Embassy of Egypt in New Delhi. The fee depends on the visa type and on whether you need one entry or several. Every visa fee below already includes the Embassy Processing Fee of INR 500 per applicant.

A multiple-entry tourist visa costs twice as much, so it only makes sense if your itinerary takes you out of Egypt and back in during the same trip. ### Is the VFS logistic fee charged on top of the visa fee? Yes. VFS lists a separate VFS Logistic Fee of INR 800 for all locations, inclusive of taxes. It is paid at submission in cash, by card or by UPI, and VFS states that no exemption applies. A single-entry tourist applicant therefore pays two amounts at the counter: the INR 4000 visa fee and the INR 800 logistic fee. Both are paid at the Visa Application Centre itself. VFS says no appointment is needed for Egypt: you download and complete the application form, then drop it off with your documents during opening hours. The decision is made by the Embassy of Egypt in New Delhi, not by VFS. ### How much is the Egypt e-Visa, and is it cheaper? India is on the list of nationalities eligible for the tourism e-Visa on the Egypt e-Visa Portal (visa2egypt.gov.eg). The portal lists two tourism options: - Single entry visa (Tourism): USD 30 - Multiple entries visa (Tourism): USD 65 The fee is paid online by credit or debit card in US dollars. The rupee amount on your statement depends on your bank's exchange rate and any foreign-currency charge on your card. There is no VFS logistic fee on this route because you never visit a centre. Whether the e-Visa works out cheaper than the VFS route depends on that conversion on the day you pay, so check your bank's rate before choosing. Two other differences matter more than the price: - The e-Visa is only for ordinary passports. Diplomatic, service, official and other non-ordinary passports must apply at an Egyptian embassy or consulate. - The portal does not state the validity or permitted length of stay for the single-entry or multiple-entry tourism e-Visa, so confirm these on the portal before you pay. ### Are Egypt visa fees refunded if the application is refused? No. The VFS fee table marks every Egypt visa fee as non-refundable, and the multiple-entry and business-category fees as non-transferable. The Egypt e-Visa Portal's disclaimer states that the visa processing fee is non-refundable and that incomplete applications will be rejected. A rejected or incomplete file costs you the full fee, so the best way to protect the money is to submit a complete file the first time. The portal adds that possessing an e-Visa is not the final authority to enter Egypt: port authorities may refuse entry to an e-Visa holder without explanation. You must carry the printed e-Visa, because it has to be presented at the port of entry. ### What else should an Indian traveller budget for? The visa fee is only part of the cost of a complete file. For the VFS tourist route, the checklist asks for items that can carry their own charges: - Two colour photographs, 3.5 cm X 4.5 cm, on a white background, not more than 1 month old - A detailed tour programme on an Egyptian travel agent's letterhead, signed and stamped, plus the agent's National ID copy - A confirmed return complete-route air ticket and a confirmed hotel booking or accommodation voucher - The last 6 months of personal bank statements with the bank's original signature and stamp Travel insurance is not listed as a requirement on the VFS and embassy pages we checked; VFS only links to an optional travel insurance page. Treat insurance as your own decision rather than a visa cost. Time also matters when you plan payments and bookings. VFS indicates a minimum of 10 to 12 working days for the Delhi location and a minimum of 12 to 15 working days for other locations in India, at the discretion of the Embassy. The e-Visa portal asks you to apply at least 7 days before departure but publishes no processing time. ### Which mistakes cost Indian applicants money? - Budgeting from an old fee sheet. An older VFS one-pager showed INR 2800 for a single-entry tourist visa. The live VFS fee table shows INR 4000, and that is the figure to plan with. - Paying for multiple entry you will not use. INR 8000 against INR 4000 per person adds up quickly for a family. - Applying for the e-Visa on a non-ordinary passport. The portal does not accept these, and the fee is not refunded. - Leaving the e-Visa to the last minute. The portal asks for applications at least 7 days before departure. - Counting on a visa on arrival. We found no official Egyptian government, embassy or VFS page confirming a visa on arrival for Indian passport holders, so plan on either the VFS visa or the e-Visa.
