How to get a visa on arrival at Hurghada airport?

A visa on arrival at Hurghada airport is issued directly in the terminal after exiting the plane. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Visa payment: First, you need to approach special counters (also bank windows) to pay the visa fee. The official visa cost is 25 US dollars.
2. Important life hack: Be careful! Often, staff at these counters try to charge an additional 2-5 dollars, claiming it's a fee for the immigration card. In fact, this card is free. To avoid overpaying, you can first take a free immigration card directly at the border guard's window, and then approach to pay for the visa, showing that you already have the card.
3. Filling out the card: Fill out the immigration card. For this, you will need a ballpoint pen—bring it from home, as they may not be available at the airport.
4. Passing control: With the paid visa (sticker in the passport) and the completed card, proceed to the passport control counters.

Note that in Hurghada, the free Sinai stamp is not issued, which is only valid when arriving at airports on the Sinai Peninsula (e.g., in Sharm el-Sheikh). Here, the visa is paid for everyone.
