Comparison
iVisa vs Atlys vs Veeza AI for Egyptians Applying from Egypt (2026)
If you hold an Egyptian passport and you are lodging a tourist visa from Egypt, whether Schengen at VFS Cairo or Alexandria, UK Standard Visitor, or US B1/B2, Veeza AI is the only option in this list built for that exact job. AI-filled forms, a human visa expert on every file, WhatsApp in Arabic and English, and EGP payment when the file is ready. Apply yourself if you want zero vendor fee. Use a global e-visa app if your trip is an eVisa or ETA in a country it actually supports. Use a slot tool if you only need a calendar alert. Use a Cairo agency if you want a traditional brokerage and you accept handing your file to a local office. Nobody on this page can promise a visa.

How each option actually works
Official and DIY. Apply on the government site and book the visa centre. Schengen goes to the country of longest stay (or first entry if equal) per the European Commission guidance. UK is on GOV.UK. US runs through the DS-160 and the US Embassy in Egypt path. Zero vendor fee, and you own every form error.
iVisa. A private company covering 100+ destinations, mainly eVisas and ETAs. It says itself that you can apply directly with the government. Useful when your destination is an eVisa it supports. Not an Egypt-Schengen or VFS Cairo specialist.
Atlys. 120+ destinations with strong marketing on some products. Its public Schengen appointment coverage points at India-city pages. Different geography, different default user.
Slot tools. They watch or auto-book visa-centre calendars. Complementary to a filled file, not a substitute for one. A different job from Veeza’s measured Egypt dataset plus full-service booking after human review.
Cairo agency. A traditional brokerage. Veeza’s broker comparison page cites typical fees of EGP 3,000 to 8,000. Take that as Veeza’s comparison, not an independent market study, and confirm passport handling and payment method with the office itself.
Veeza AI. Y Combinator F26. Egyptian passports and listed tourist visas. AI fills the forms, a human expert reviews every file, WhatsApp runs in Arabic and English, and you pay in EGP when the file is ready. Full service books the centre appointment, paperwork service does not. Never the physical passport, never cash or wallets, and no approval guarantee.
