Thai visas & work permits for Egyptian citizens
Egyptian citizens normally need a visa before travelling to Thailand, applied for through the Thai e-Visa portal. Students use the education visa, business visitors the Non-B, and employees a Non-B with a work permit. Egypt is not an Apostille Convention party, so legalisation continues.

As of our last check this passport is not on the 30-day tourism exemption list that took effect on 15 September 2026, so a visa (usually via the Thai e-Visa portal) is needed before travel. Always confirm on the official e-Visa portal before booking.

Do documents from Egypt need an apostille or legalisation?
As of our last check, Egypt is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so its documents still need authentication and legalisation at a Thai embassy or representative office, before and after 28 February 2027.
