IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PHILIPPINE E-VISA SYSTEM IN EGYPT AND SUDAN

The Philippine Embassy in Cairo informs the public of the implementation of the Philippine electronic Visa (e-Visa) system in Egypt and Sudan, starting 05 October 2026. 

​

Egyptian and Sudanese nationals and residents of Egypt who are eligible for Philippine e-Visas and intend to enter the Philippines for temporary visits may lodge their application online through the official website, evisa.gov.ph, and pay the corresponding e-Visa fees securely via direct bank transfer or onsite payment at the Embassy, as applicable.

​

Approved e-Visas, once issued by the Embassy, can be accessed by holders remotely through their personal computers, laptops, and mobile devices, and may be presented in either digital or printed format. The e-Visa will no longer be affixed to passports. 

​

Holders of Philippine e-Visas are reminded to accomplish the online Philippine e-Travel registration form (https://etravel.gov.ph) only after their e-Visa has been issued by the Embassy, and within 72 hours prior to arrival, to avoid difficulties at Philippine ports of entry. 

​

Please note that Philippine e-Visas are not valid for conversion to other types of visas, and the authorized period of stay is not extendable. Foreign nationals intending to visit the Philippines for studies, employment, or other non-tourism purposes are advised to apply for a regular visa sticker at the Embassy
