Can I visit Egypt with a US Green Card?
Yes, if your passport alone would need a visa, Egypt lets you in with a visa on arrival when you hold a US Green Card.
- Holders of a US Green Card valid for more than 6 months on arrival can get a visa at the airport, which the Egyptian Embassy in Washington calls an emergency visa. The embassy advises getting the visa in advance where possible.
- Your passport must also be valid for more than 6 months on arrival.
- Not available to Bangladeshi nationals, or to nationals who need Egypt's prior approval: Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Iran, Israel, Mali, Niger, Palestine, Sudan and Syria.
- Confirm with your airline before you fly that it will board you without a visa. Egyptian border officers can refuse entry.
- The embassy page doesn't state how long you can stay; confirm the length of stay on arrival.
- Since 1 September 2026, Egyptian airports issue arrival visas as an electronic QR code instead of a sticker.
