Egypt e-Visa, the official paid e-visa, and how to spot the middlemen who mark it up.

Egypt’s e-Visa is applied for on a government portal run by the Ministry of Interior. Current tourism fees are USD 30 single entry and USD 65 multiple entry.

The portal is not open to every passport. The official FAQ lists the nationalities that can currently use the eVisa, so that list is the first thing to read.
