For your next holiday, you're planning a trip to Egypt. But you're not used to travelling abroad, so you're asking yourself a number of questions, particularly of an administrative nature. One of the most recurrent is: is it possible to travel to Egypt using a simple identity card? We've got the answers.<\/p>\n
For Allemands\ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea, Belges\ud83c\udde7\ud83c\uddea, Fran\u00e7ais\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7, Italiens\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 and Portugais\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf9<\/h2>\n
Many countries around the world require their nationals to present the following documents a valid passport (at least six months after the date of return to France)<\/strong> to welcome them on their territory. Some countries are a little less restrictive when it comes to administrative matters. Egypt is one of them<\/span>. However, this is a rather special case. You can leave peacefully with your identity card up to date.<\/p>\n
\u26a0\ufe0f\u00a0Please note that the additional 5 years of validity for French identity cards are not recognised in Egypt. Make sure you are in order by having an identity card with the correct facial expiry date.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
In this way, it is perfectly possible to arrive in Egypt and obtain a visa once you are there, simply by taking two passport photos with you and paying the customs fees in Egypt.<\/p>\n
Please note that it is still advisable to travel with an up-to-date passport, even in Egypt. While it is possible to travel with just an identity card in some countries, make sure you find out beforehand, otherwise you may be refused entry.<\/p>\n
