Your approval, then your flight clearance

Required to apply

A clear passport copy and the country you will travel from.

Confirmed ticket (optional when you apply)

Attach it if you have one, with your departure date. If you do not, ask us on WhatsApp for a ticket quote. You can apply without a ticket.

Without a confirmed ticket, the security approval is provisional. The confirmed ticket is required to issue the circulation notice and send the telegram.

We arrange the circulation notice 3 days before the flight, to help avoid problems at travel. Uploading a ticket does not mean the notice or telegram has been issued.

Approval validity: 3 months from issue. Stay in Egypt: 3 months, not extendable.

Prices may change without prior notice, and terms and conditions apply. A request you have submitted keeps the price it was quoted at. Visa terms

Who this is for

  • Sudanese passport holders who need security approval before travelling to Egypt
  • Other nationalities: the Visa Desk assesses your case individually

Security approval is not entry permission

The security approval is one step. The final permission to enter Egypt is a separate decision made by the Egyptian authorities. Africano assists with the approval request and cannot decide either.

Check the price and what is required

Choose your nationality and where you are travelling from.

Africano Tour assists customers with the Egypt security approval application process. Approval, processing time and entry permission are determined solely by the relevant Egyptian authorities.
