How to renew the Sinai stamp (for Ukraine)?
We read a bunch of questions - answers, and did not come to a single decision. A trip for 2 weeks (not a tour, on your own), if you want to stay longer, what should you do? Go to the airport to buy a visa or to the police, or just score and pay for the delay on departure? If you go on an excursion to Israel or Jordan, is a new visa issued upon return or is the old one valid (Sinai only)? We do not want to buy immediately at the airport, because, perhaps, we will fly away in 2 weeks and it simply will not come in handy.

If you are on your own, then you have tickets for a charter or regular through Istanbul, you write that if you like it, then you will stay, a ticket with an open date?

When traveling on your own (in your case), it is better not to save on a visa. You never know what can happen, you will have to leave Sinai, stay late, it will not work out with a ticket or your flight will be postponed ... a visa will help you feel more confident. In this case, saving on matches costs sideways.

By the way, go straight to the window at passport control? Because everyone there before the control pounces with a demand to buy a visa, how to pay for it? Can I immediately cash the border guard?

Immediately, after leaving the plane, to the window behind the "Declaration" (small pink form). After completing the "Declaration" at the passport control. This is where the visa issue comes in. I passed without saying anything about a visa, or about Sinai, ... and the border guards did not offer me a visa (a ticket for only 10 days).
I don’t remember where, but once I bought a visa right at the window from the border guard at passport control ...

Thank you. Last year, I remember, as soon as we entered the airport, there were a lot of incomprehensible people in shorts and T-shirts and they shouted “buy a visa, buy a visa” to the passport control window! On what grounds they do it, I don't know. I just knew that we do not need a visa, because. Arrived for a week. I also read here that these "entrepreneurs" allegedly sell visas for $ 2-5 more. Again, how do these people conduct their activities there in the border zone ... Although maybe it's like from tour operators? We always fly "savage" so I don't know. But Egyptian begging really surprised, it is easy for an inexperienced tourist to get caught

Lilyu Yes, you probably did not understand them. It is the "wise men" who offer their help for a tip in the design of the "Declaration". We were also screaming. This is just before passport control. We nah .. sent them, we issued them ourselves.
Who, except for the border guard, can sell a visa? It's a state fee...

What a fabulous country)) I will also go at the airport to the zone before passport control and will advise foreigners in Ukraine for a couple of bucks))). In general, I don’t understand how strangers can be there and conduct some kind of entrepreneurial activity ... Corruption is the engine of progress)

Lilyu, when you go up the escalator at the airport upon arrival, right in front of the escalator you will see the windows of banks where they sell visas. The photo is old, now the visa costs $25.

I always recommend that while everyone is hanging out at the host side for migration cards and listening to how they are quickly made for money, go to the bank window, buy a visa for your passport there, then calmly take a migration card for free and fill it out calmly (there is nonsense to fill out). Then to the border control.
Specifically, buy a visa and do not bother with the Sinai stamp, it is not in vain designed for a certain period!
