As far as I am aware, UK passport holders need visas for every country they visit outside the EU- this includes Egypt.
You should be given the visa to fill out on the plane when you are going there- its a small green form.
When going to Egypt- please make sure you go to the doctors before hand and get him to give you all the vaccinations you need- you will need these not only for your own health when travelling to Egypt- but again for the Visa. This is imperative- a friends of mine mother's went to Egypt, and because she was born there she didn't have any vaccinations when travelling back- she caught some disease fairly common over there and it killed her.
Also, make sure you don't do any independant travelling as it can be very dangerous over there for tourists, stick to holiday reps and dont go out of the resort without them.
Hope that helped.

i will tell you the right thing . i ve been working in the airport.
first of all , all the european or the american nationalities don't need to go to the embassy , they can get the visa in egypt airports after landing easily ( about 20 usd , 20 euro , 20 GBP ) they need only the passport .
the visa is a little stamp that they put it on your passport ..very easy.
some nationalities can visit egypt with no need of the passport (netherland,france belgium ),they only need the id card and a passport photo.
you can visit sinai (sharm el sheikh without visa ) but u need visa if u wanna visit other cities and u can have it in sinai airport before your domestic plan and u pay the same fees mentioned above.

If you are a citizen of the UK, you can get your visa once you land. There is a fee of 15-18 GBP. If you are staying within the sinai peninsula, you don't need to pay for the visa. If you want to get the visa in advance (it may speed things up at the border) you can go to the embassy in London. Also, they may ask for a passport photo when you land, so it will help to have one with you when you fly.

Been twice and never filled out a form on the plane but have bought visas at the airport. Think it was £20 and they excepted Stirling.
Went alone and although the local guys were a little creepy,I definitely didn't feel threatened and would totally disagree that you shouldn't travel independently or leave the resort. What's the point of going all that way and staying in one place?

No, you need to complete a simple visitors card which they bring round in the plane.
You don't need any jabs either.
They will try to sell you a visa when you get through passport control, but you don't need it.
What's the point in going somewhere and never leaving the resort?
We took my 5 year old daughter and went into Sharm by taxi in the evenings, no problem, experience the local culture don't stay in a bloody resort.

Yes. I went on a holiday and the tour operator charged £20. I did not need to do anything and at the airport in egypt, a rep was there to meet me before customs/passport control and the passport just got a stamp. Very easy.

For piece of techniques touch your interior sight return and forth company and that i've got published a hyperlink to the Egyptian Embassy in London. As you have been resident interior the united kingdom for the previous 10 years you are able to desire to even qualify for a uk passport. in case you're married to a uk citizen or to somebody with a uk passport, you are able to desire to immediately qualify for a uk passport. My mom had an Indian passport for 2 many years earlier she controlled to get a uk passport. My father had a uk passport from considering his young human beings and the reason it took see you later for my mom replaced into simply by fact her delivery certificates replaced into lost and took her a protracted time to obtain a replica from the Indian registry places of work interior the path of the Indian government.

when u arrive to any airport in Egypt, u just pay like 15US$ then you have a tourist visa on your passport... this visa i think is valid for 3 months, then if you want to have 1 year is on your passport, you get while you are already using your tourist visa, i think it would cost you like 200US$ for visa of 1 year with several entrance to Egypt..
good luck..
