E-visa launched at Cairo ICT 2017 to attract more tourists in Egypt

Electronic visas will help attract more tourists to Egypt, President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi said during his speech at the events of Cairo ICT 2017 conference.

Sisi launched the works of the first phase of Egypt’s e-visa online portal which will become effective in passport, immigration and nationality offices.

Using this system, tourists will apply and pay for their visa online via a barcode that they will receive. After approval from Egyptian authorities, tourists will receive a copy of the visa electronically.

Earlier Sunday, Sisi inaugurated the events of the 21st edition of Cairo ICT 2017 Conference, which will run from December 3 to 6.
