Egypt Business Visa Guide for Indian Corporate Travelers
Everything You Need To Know - Indian Passport Holders
Egypt, known as the Gateway between Africa and the Middle East, is rapidly becoming a major trade and investment hub for Indian companies. With flourishing cooperation in infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, IT, and renewable energy, the Egypt–India economic corridor continues to expand each year.
Indian corporate travelers frequently visit Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said, and Giza for trade fairs, supplier meetings, and government-linked business discussions. To travel for such professional purposes, Indian nationals are required to obtain an Egypt Business Visa before departure.
This visa is processed through the Embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt in New Delhi or the Consulate General of Egypt in Mumbai, depending on the applicant’s state of residence.

Who Needs a Business Visa?
Indian nationals traveling to Egypt for official meetings, trade events, or partnership discussions must apply for a Business Visa (Single or Multiple Entry).
This visa is intended for short-term business activities only and does not permit employment, local remuneration, or technical work.
However, business travelers holding a valid U.S., U.K., or Schengen multiple-entry visa may sometimes be granted a visa-on-arrival (subject to approval by Egyptian Immigration). Applicants should confirm eligibility before travel.
BTW Visa Tip: Always verify the latest visa-on-arrival and eVisa rules through official channels or BTW before booking travel — policies are periodically updated by Egyptian immigration authorities.
