Entry details

Holders of a Botswana passport need a visa obtained in advance when visiting Egypt. The Botswana passport currently ranks #115 of 199 worldwide, with 77 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.

Egypt is middling in how freely it admits visitors, admitting 123 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #162 with 52 open destinations. Both sit in Africa, where regional agreements often shape entry rules. Access is actually lopsided the other way โ€” Egypt citizens enter Botswana more easily (e-visa required).

In the opposite direction, Egypt citizens travelling to Botswana face: e-visa required.
