Entry rules for Egypt passport holders
Egyptian citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Libya. Applications generally go through a Libya embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Libya immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
How this compares

The arrangement is reciprocal: Libyan citizens traveling to Egypt face the same requirement (visa required).
Northern Africa is closed to spontaneous travel for Egyptian passport holders: none of its 5 destinations can be entered without an application first.
