Flying into Marsa Alam/visa

[Christian]

Will be flying into Marsa Alam Airport from Europe for the first time. Do they have an immigrations office there, that can issue visas on the spot?

cheers

I believe visas are available at Marsa Alam airport. Didn't hear anything else.

 

[Christian]

That's what I believe to be the case. But suddenly, I got this cold feeling coming over me. Better be safe ... Can anyone confirm?

It's the same as in every other airport in Egypt. You step into the arrivals hall, fight your way past the travel agents and buy a visa sticker for exactly 15 US dollars from the bank teller ('Banque Misr') on your right. If you pay with UK pounds or Euros you get change in Egyptian. I've done it many times now.

Relax Christian, and enjoy! :cool2:

Ok, thank's. I've always travelled via Hurgahda (or Cairo) before, so I din't know. Now let's just see how much relaxation there can be with the two uw-models that I'm bringing

Yeah, we were there that Easter, and you pick up your standard visa. We went through Tony Backhurst, and the price of the visa was included in the holiday.
