When I return from Egypt, the passport will expire in 4 months, the agency said that it must be at least 6. Perhaps someone had a similar situation?

Contact another agency. This cannot be, if Schengen countries ask for at least 90 days, then Egypt will require 6 months. Nonsense!

The agency is absolutely right! There must be at least 6 months before the expiration of the passport. Change your passport.

Passport must be valid for at least 6 months at the time of return. We had cases when a tourist flew under his own responsibility 3 months before the end of the passport and everything was fine, but people also had problems when they returned and there were 5 months before the end. I advise you to play it safe and get a new passport.

This issue has already been discussed on the forum a million times)) To obtain a visa on arrival in Egypt, you need a general passport valid for at least 2 (two) months from the date of the end of the tour. And, as far as I know, this rule applies to citizens of both Russia and Ukraine, as well as a number of other countries. YES, they are allowed with a passport expiring in a month, and in a week. BUT ... if you're lucky. You may not be lucky))) Therefore, they gave you the right advice - just contact another agency, where there are more competent employees, and calmly fly on vacation)

In Russia, everything remains the same, but in Ukraine everything has changed: at the time of departure, the passport must be less than 6 months before its expiration date. And it doesn’t matter where you are going to go, to Turkey or Egypt. It’s nonsense, of course, when a person goes on vacation for 8-14 days. And the risk of losing a large amount of money, because the travel agency warned us right away and did not advise taking risks ... It seems to be the passport is valid for five months, if you believe the date and seal written in it, and at the same moment it is as invalid. HERE are such idiotic laws we have ..

2 rodnusha and other lovers to scold their countries.
What about our laws? These are the rules of the country of entry, i.e. Egypt. Why they are like that is another question. For example, I am surprised that for Japanese citizens there is generally a visa-free regime when entering Egypt. Do not confuse "visa-free" and "obtaining a visa at the airport of arrival."
Now on topic. For citizens of Ukraine - 6 months. For citizens of Russia - 2 months.
Tip - try opening a visa here. Contact the Egyptian consulate.
