Tourist visas for Egypt can often be obtained upon arrival in Egypt, for citizens of most countries (It is highly recommended to confirm visa particulars with the appropriate consulate, however).

Egyptian consulates do not issue student visas; application for a student visa (if required) is made after entering Egypt with a tourist or entry visa.
Citizens of the following countries do not require a visa:
a) nationals of Kuwait, who are allocated a six months' residence permit upon arrival;
