How to extend the Sinai stamp if you need to stay in Egypt for more than 15 days?

If your plans have changed and you need to stay in Sinai for more than 15 days, you have two main options:
- Obtain a visa on arrival already in Egypt. This is the simplest and often the cheapest way. You can contact a local travel agency or guide—they will handle everything for you, the service will cost about 30-50 dollars. Or, go independently to Sharm El-Sheikh Airport and affix a visa stamp for a state fee of 25 dollars. This visa allows you to stay in the country for up to 30 days from the date of initial entry.
- Do a 'visa run' (exit and return). For this, you need to exit Egypt (for example, take an international flight from Sharm El-Sheikh to another country or go to Israel via the Taba border crossing) and immediately return to get a new stamp or visa. This method is usually more expensive and troublesome than the first due to transportation costs.
Good to know: The validity period of the new visa is counted not from the moment of its purchase, but from the date of your initial entry into Egypt, which is indicated in the Sinai stamp.
