I'm applying for an Egyptian visa and the website to do so (Egypt e-Visa Portal) is asking for the country that I'm traveling from.

So let's say I was a United States citizen that was going to spend a few days in France before flying to Egypt. I assume that I would say that France is the country that I'm traveling from.

What if I was a United States citizen that was doing a layover in France, but I wasn't actually going to be leaving the airport? At that point, would I be flying from France, or would I be flying from the United States?

  • I would say the US if you are checked-through. More generally, the last country you went through passport control in.

  • @jcaron that sounds like an answer, and it has more depth than the current answer.

If you entered France, then it's France. If you're in transit you're not technically 'entering' the country, you're just passing through the outside-immigration-zone. So in the case you stay in Paris a few days - you'd write France. If just stopping in Charles de Gaulle Airport to change planes to fly to Egypt - put the USA.
