Botswana citizens need a visa issued in advance by an embassy or consulate of Egypt. Start the application several weeks before departure: you will typically need a passport valid for six months with blank pages, a completed application form, passport photos, a travel itinerary, proof of accommodation and of sufficient funds, and sometimes an invitation letter or bank statements.
The main option is the Tourist Visa (Egyptian consulate). Egypt also offers Pre-approval visa (Egyptian Consulate) — see the visa options above.
Whatever your visa status, Egypt applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Egypt lets 3 passports in without a visa, offers a visa on arrival to 44, issues eVisas to 78 and requires an embassy visa from 73. Botswana citizens are treated the same way as Algeria, Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso and Burundi. Overall the Botswana passport ranks #106 in the world with 48 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Africa? With a Botswana passport you can also visit 16 countries in the region without a visa, including Angola, Benin, Kenya, Lesotho, Mauritius, Malawi, Mozambique and Namibia.
In the other direction, Egypt citizens need evisa to visit Botswana.
