🇪🇬 Egypt visa requirements for Brazilian citizens
Brazilian citizens can get a visa on arrival when entering Egypt — no embassy visit needed beforehand.
Entry rules for Brazil passport holders
Brazilian travelers can obtain their visa directly at the border or airport when arriving in Egypt. Bring a passport with at least six months' validity, passport photos, and the visa fee (often payable only in cash). Lines can be long at peak times, so check whether Egypt also offers an e-visa to skip the queue.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Egypt immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
