And again about the visa
In a memo to tourists traveling to Egypt, Pegasus indicated the need to purchase a visa worth 15 USD and that visa-free transit is prohibited. He also noted that single trips to Luxor and Aswan are undesirable. Our flight is on March 28 .What do you think, do not pay attention and put "Sinai only" and how many migration cards to fill out can give / suddenly spoil when filling out /? Thank you))).

If you do not go on excursions that require a visa, do not succumb to provocations - no one has canceled the Sinai stamp.
These cards are not in short supply - you will not be released from the zone if it is not filled out with Sinai only, or with a visa.

And as for SOLE trips to Luxor and Aswan, I will support Pegasus - at this time it is better to travel in a group.

Yes, we were not going on these excursions, I just drew attention to this information in the memo. was not mentioned. I just heard from many that not everyone goes smoothly with Sinai ONLY, and 30 c.u. I don’t want to pay and spoil the mood too :-))) Thank you all for the answers!

Do not take it for work, write after the trip - how will things be with all these stamps, visas ...
It's just that my friend flew in from Sharm-Sinai, they set it up without hysterics, quietly and calmly.

Lived in Hurghada all winter with family and friends. No one has ever had any problems with visas. It is only necessary to go to the visa department in time and renew the visa. According to friends who live here all the time, I note that it can be extended indefinitely. After the first month of your stay, you go and it is extended for free for 1 month. After the expiration of the second month of residence, respectively, go and apply for a visa for three months already. Here you have to pay about 40 rubles. You will be stamped in your passport that you have applied for a long-term visa. After 3 months from entering the khuru, respectively, go again to the visa center, hand over your passport to them for 1 day. The next day, come and you get a visa for 3 months, taking about 30 rubles from you. And so in a circle for three months, you extend the visa later. Or if you flew out at least once, then you start from the beginning. Visas are not multiple, so again upon arrival, a monthly fee of $ 15, regardless of whether the three-month one has ended or not. So there is no problem with the visa.

We rested in Sharm from 24.02 to 04.03. They put the Sinai stamp, because. did not go on excursions. But there was one nuance, the stamp was placed only on those who had at least one Egyptian visa (preferably recently). Those who flew in for the first time and wanted to put a stamp were not given to anyone, everyone bought visas...

Calmly take the migration card (if you write the letter incorrectly, just correct it), fill it out (by the way, cards are issued to all those who have arrived) and go to passport control bypassing the purchase of a visa.
If you want to visit Luxor, then a visa is required for you.
Recently, people often use this opportunity not to buy a visa on arrival))
No matter how many tourists I asked in the office, they say they calmly passed through control without buying a visa.
dmitrieva17 were people turned away to buy a visa at passport control or did they buy a visa after the words of the tour operator?

It doesn’t matter if there was a trip to Egypt before, or if this is the first time, they put a stamp on Sinai, don’t worry.

No one has the right to refuse to supply you with a simple Sinai stamp. Whether you've been recently or it's your first time, it doesn't matter. It’s just that as a rule, people who come for the second time are already more savvy and you can’t just fool them and they know their rights.

Guys, I still don’t understand. We are flying to Taba in April for a mandatory trip to Israel and Jordan upon arrival in Sharm, do we need to buy a visa? Will she bother us later?

It won’t hurt))), the only difference is that a visa costs $ 15, and a Sinai stamp is free, and you can get a visa and a stamp to Israel and Jordan. You will not be missed by passport control, you need to either buy a visa or put a stamp, and in both cases, you must fill out a migration card.

To buy a visa, people were wrapped precisely at PASSPORT CONTROL. There is no talk of tour operators))). The representative of the Anex-tour just cursed in Russian when they didn’t buy a visa from him for $ 17)))

There are some nationalities where a visa is required. But if Russians or Ukrainians were wrapped, then this is a violation, you can choose a visa or a stamp. There is another category of any people who are wrapped up when trying to stamp: vacationers for more than 14 days. The Sinai stamp entitles you to a visa-free stay of 14 days. If you bought a package for 14 nights, then you will be wrapped up, according to the rules, you must purchase a visa. I think in your case this is exactly what happened, the border guards looked at the dates of stay and if the tour is 14 days, please buy a visa)))))))))

I flew with my daughter to Egypt on February 21-28. At the airport in Sharm, we were met by a representative of our tour operator "TEZ-TOUR" and immediately said: "Fill out the cards and buy visas." I knew that you can not buy a visa. The whole plane obediently stood in line, but I, having decided to save money, remembered my modest knowledge of English, went up to the border guard. She showed the inscription “SINAY ONLY” on the back of the card and made an attempt to comment on the absence of the stamp. The border guard realized that I would not succeed, freed me from unnecessary torment, silently putting a stamp in my passport. Since I was with a child, we saved $30. The money is not big, but we are probably the only ones who did not buy a visa from our plane. A couple of days later we went on an excursion to Israel, there were no problems at the border.

And if I fly to Sharm for a swim, without excursions, is it enough for me to put a Sinai stamp for free and ignore the visa?

I keep my promise))) - they put the Sinai stamp without any problems, and not only to us, they paid special attention. They also put a stamp on my friends without asking any questions, although it was the first time in Egypt. Thanks to all the people of Turpravda for their advice)))
