If you’ve already applied for your Egypt visa, knowing how to check its status will help you plan your trip with confidence and avoid last-minute surprises.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the different ways to track your Egypt visa status, whether you applied online for an eVisa, through an embassy, or via a travel agent.

How to Check Your Egypt eVisa Status Online Through the Official Website?

If you applied for your visa through the official Egypt eVisa Portal, the process is quick and straightforward:

1. Visit the official Egypt eVisa website. Go to https://www.visa2egypt.gov.eg and click on ‘Application Processing’.

2. Log in to your account. Use the email address and password you registered with. If you’ve forgotten your login details, click on the “Forgot Password” option.

3. Check your application dashboard. Here you’ll see one of these statuses:

   • Under Process – Your application is still under review.

   • Approved – Your visa is granted. You can download it as a PDF.

   • Rejected – Your visa has been denied (reasons may not always be given).

4. Download your eVisa (if approved). Keep both printed and digital copies while travelling, as the immigration officer might ask for them.

If you can't find what you're looking for, you can simply head to ‘Contact us’ on their website, and fill out the form to enquire about your visa status.
