Do Brazilian passport holders need a visa for Egypt?

Yes, but it is a straightforward one. Brazil is on Egypt’s e-Visa eligible list, so a Brazilian passport holder can apply for one online before flying, which is the route Egypt documents. The fee is 30 US dollars for a single entry or 65 for multiple, and the visa is for tourism.

Entry requirements

• A passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival, which is Egypt’s own stated requirement on the e-Visa portal.
• A granted e-Visa, applied for online before you fly and carried as a printout. Egypt lists the printout itself among the documents wanted on arrival.
• A travel itinerary, and supporting evidence for the purpose of the trip: hotel bookings or details of the places you will visit for tourism, or a company or invitation letter for a business or family visit.

Applied for and paid online, decided at the border

Egypt runs an official e-Visa portal, and Brazil is on the list of nationalities eligible to use it. The tourism visa is issued for single or multiple entries, the single-entry fee is 30 US dollars and the multiple-entry fee is 65, and the portal asks you to apply at least seven days before departure.

The documents Egypt names for arrival are modest: a passport with at least six months of validity from the arrival date, the e-Visa printout, a travel itinerary, and a supporting letter or booking that matches the purpose of the trip. For tourism that means hotel bookings or an outline of where you are going; for a business or family visit it means a company or invitation letter.

What the portal is candid about is that none of this guarantees entry. Its own wording is that, as with other visas, the Egyptian port authorities have the right to refuse entry to an e-Visa holder without any explanation. So the e-Visa is permission to travel and be considered, not a promise of admission, and the sensible reading is to carry the printout and the supporting documents rather than assume the granted visa settles the question.

Good to know

• Print the e-Visa rather than trusting your phone. Egypt lists the e-Visa printout among the documents required on arrival, and the port authorities check the visa against their own system rather than relying on a screen you hold up. A dead battery at the immigration desk is an avoidable problem.
• Choose single or multiple entry deliberately, because the fee difference is the whole decision. A single-entry tourism visa is 30 US dollars and a multiple-entry one is 65. If your trip includes a hop out to Jordan or a Red Sea cruise that re-enters Egypt, the multiple-entry visa is the one that saves a second application; a straight round trip does not need it.
• The six months of passport validity is measured from arrival, not departure. A Brazilian passport runs ten years for adults, so the trip that catches people is the one booked while the passport has just under a year left: comfortable at booking, under the six-month line by the arrival date. Check the expiry against your arrival, not against today.
• Match your supporting document to the purpose you put on the form. Egypt asks tourists for hotel bookings or an itinerary and business or family visitors for a company or invitation letter. The document is not a formality at the border given the port authorities’ stated discretion, so bring the one that matches what you declared rather than a generic booking.
