Egypt visa for Filipino citizens
Visa required
🇵🇭 Filipino passport → 🇪🇬 Egypt: yes — a visa arranged in advance.
How it works
You'll need a visa arranged in advance through the embassy or consulate (or an authorised visa centre): application form, passport photos, fee, and often proof of funds, accommodation and onward travel. Start early — processing can take weeks.
Heads-up: Egypt commonly asks for proof of onward travel (visa application and on arrival).
Before the airport: run the "Will I board?" checklist for this route →
Beyond Egypt: the Philippines passport
The 🇵🇭 Philippines passport ranks #131 of 199 worldwide, entering 66 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Philippines passport: 🇲🇦 Morocco (90 days), 🇨🇮 Ivory Coast (90 days), 🇬🇲 Gambia (90 days) — all 66 open destinations.
Going the other way? Egyptian citizens visiting the Philippines need a visa arranged in advance.
