The Letter of Guarantee is a mandatory entry document for Indian passport holders traveling to Egypt. This page explains what it is, who can issue it, why it must be backed by airport Meet & Assist, and how Rimo Tours provides the complete entry support package.
Letter of Guarantee — Indians entering Egypt
The Letter of Guarantee is a formal authorization document issued by a licensed Egyptian tourism company. It serves as an official declaration — to both the airline and Egyptian immigration — that a recognized local entity has formally accepted responsibility for the traveler’s entry and presence in Egypt.
This is not a hotel booking confirmation. It is not a generic agency letter. It is not an invitation letter. It is a specific, government-recognized document that carries legal weight under Egypt’s entry framework.
For Indian nationals, this document is mandatory — not optional. Both the Egypt eVisa portal and Egyptian immigration authorities require it before permitting entry.
Only a company registered and authorized by the Egyptian government can issue a valid Letter of Guarantee — not a foreign agency, not a hotel, and not an online platform.
The document is verified on arrival at all major Egyptian airports. It confirms that the sponsoring company has accepted responsibility for the traveler's entry.
Many airlines operating from India to Egypt now check the Letter of Guarantee at departure check-in. Without it, boarding may be refused even before the traveler reaches Egypt.
The requirement is real, official, and enforced — before boarding and on arrival.
When Indian nationals apply for the Egypt eVisa, the portal displays: 'You will not be allowed to enter the country without the guarantee of an authorized tourist agent in Egypt.' This is an official Egyptian government notification — built into the eVisa system for Indian passport holders.
The Letter of Guarantee requirement applies to all Indian passport holders — regardless of travel history, purpose of visit, or length of stay. It is not a traveler-level flag or a random system error. It is a fixed entry condition tied to Indian nationality.
Whether you travel on an eVisa or qualify for the visa-on-arrival route, the Letter of Guarantee requirement remains in place. The visa path changes how your visa stamp is issued — it does not change the authorized agent requirement for Indian nationals.
This is one of the most common sources of confusion. Many travelers assume that any travel agency, hotel, or online service can issue the Letter of Guarantee. This is incorrect.
We are a licensed Egyptian tourism company with government authorization to issue the Letter of Guarantee and provide airport representation at all major Egyptian airports.
A Letter of Guarantee establishes your authorization on paper. But the requirement does not stop there. Egyptian immigration expects a physical representative from the issuing company to be present at the airport on your arrival date.
This is the airport Meet & Assist — a real person, physically at the airport, who handles the immigration coordination in person. Without this presence, even a valid Letter of Guarantee may not be sufficient.
Pre-arrival coordination is also essential — ensuring that documentation is confirmed before your departure and that your arrival is expected at the airport before you board your flight.
Airlines and Egyptian immigration expect both elements to be in place. Rimo Tours always provides the Letter of Guarantee and airport Meet & Assist together — as a complete, compliant package.
Official document from Rimo Tours, recognized by Egyptian immigration and verifiable by airlines.
Documentation confirmed before your flight. Your arrival is expected and coordinated at the airport.
A Rimo Tours representative meets you at the arrival gate, handles immigration coordination in person, and ensures a smooth entry.
Letters obtained from unauthorized sources carry real, serious consequences at both departure and arrival.
Airlines check the Letter of Guarantee before boarding. If your letter is fake or unverifiable, you may be refused boarding in India — before you reach Egypt.
Egyptian immigration verifies the Letter on arrival. An unauthorized or forged letter will result in refusal of entry at the airport. There is no recourse at the gate.
Travelers refused entry are typically returned on the next available flight at their own cost, with no guaranteed same-day resolution at the airport.
Letters purchased from unverified online platforms, WhatsApp groups, or non-Egyptian agencies are consistently rejected. Rimo Tours issues government-recognized Letters of Guarantee — verifiable by airlines and Egyptian immigration — as part of every entry support package.

Direct answers to the questions most Indian travelers ask before booking.
In Rimo Tours’ packages, yes. The Letter of Guarantee is always issued together with airport Meet & Assist — because the document alone is not sufficient for full entry compliance. Egyptian immigration expects a physical representative from the issuing company to be present at the airport on your arrival date. Our Bronze Package includes the Letter of Guarantee, pre-arrival coordination, and airport Meet & Assist. Our All-Inclusive Package includes all of that plus full visa application handling. Both packages ensure that your documentation and airport presence are fully aligned.
