Migration card forms are available at Sharm el-Sheikh airport on the second floor after the escalator, on the left — near the visa queues. It is advisable to bring your own pen and review how to fill out the card in advance.

Some tour operators include pre-filled migration cards in the document package. If provided, a black-and-white printout is sufficient — color printing is not required. If not provided, cards can be filled out on the plane or at the airport on arrival.
