I am having trouble filling out information for a Visa on the new website visa2egypt.gov.eg
The form will not accept my address. I get message the format, spacing and/or using invalid characters. I have tried to input in several different ways to no avail.
Has anyone else had trouble with this website? If so, how was the issue resolved.

Several years ago when we went to Egypt we got our visa on arrival at the airport. Just took a few minutes. The following is from the U.S. State Dept on Egypt:
U.S. citizens must have a visa to enter Egypt.
U.S. citizens can obtain a renewable single-entry 30-day tourist visa on arrival at Egyptian airports for a 25 USD fee. A multiple entry visa is also obtainable for 60 USD.
The Government of Egypt has created a website for the issuance of “e-visas” at visa2egypt.gov.eg/eVisa/Home. There are other websites purporting to offer electronic visas, some of which reportedly charge double the official price, but this is the only official Government of Egypt portal for this service. U.S. citizens and the citizens of 44 other countries are eligible to apply through this means in advance of their travel.
Egyptian immigration officials occasionally have denied entry to travelers without explanation.
U.S. citizens who have experienced difficulty with their visa status in Egypt or are concerned about their eligibility for a visa upon arrival should apply for a visa at an Egyptian embassy or consulate prior to travel, but a visa obtained prior to entry does not guarantee admission to Egypt.
Visas for gainful employment or study in Egypt must be obtained prior to travel.
You might contact the Egyptian Embassy to verify you can still get the visa at the airport.
