Egypt visa for Pakistani citizens
Visa required
🇵🇰 Pakistani 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 Pakistan passport
The 🇵🇰 Pakistan passport ranks #196 of 199 worldwide, entering 32 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (see the world ranking).
Also visa-free on the Pakistan passport: 🇬🇲 Gambia (90 days), 🇸🇨 Seychelles (90 days), 🇷🇼 Rwanda (30 days) — all 32 open destinations.
Going the other way? Egyptian citizens visiting Pakistan need an e-Visa, applied for online before travel.
