What people usually pay
Budget for Egypt entry paperwork first, then treat park and boat fees as operator-specific line items that should be checked before you pay a deposit. Sharm is generally straightforward, but the details change according to nationality, whether you rely on the South Sinai permit stamp or a full Egypt visa, and whether your itinerary runs by road, day boat, or liveaboard.
| Fee | Amount | Applies to | Where to pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Egypt eVisa | USD $25 single entry / USD $60 multiple entry tourism visa, according to official visa terms | Eligible nationalities needing an Egypt tourist visa before travel | Where to pay | Official Egypt eVisa portal pricing. The portal advises applicants to apply online and carry the printed eVisa for arrival checks. |
| Visa on arrival | USD $30 tourism visa, according to airport issuance rules | Eligible passport holders using visa on arrival instead of eVisa | Bank counter in the airport passport-control area for eligible travelers | Experience Egypt states that eligible travelers can obtain a visa on arrival for USD $30. Because airport practice and eligibility can vary by passport, confirm before travel. |
| South Sinai entry permit stamp | Free up to 15 days | Travelers arriving directly into South Sinai for a limited resort-area stay | Issued on arrival at Sharm El Sheikh Airport when eligible | Experience Egypt says direct arrivals to Sharm El Sheikh, Nuweiba, and Taba can receive a free permit stamp for South Sinai stays of up to 15 days. Verify carefully if you will leave South Sinai, join a liveaboard, or stay longer. |
| Ras Mohammed National Park entrance fee | Commonly EUR 7 per person per trip per trip | Many protected-area boat or land excursions booked from Sharm | Collected by licensed dive center or day-boat operator | CDWS states that Ras Mohammed access requires an entrance fee payable directly through diving centers. Current Sharm operators commonly quote about EUR 7 per person per trip, but confirm the exact amount at booking because route and trip style can change what is collected. |
