Since President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi reinstated the Ministry of State for Immigration and Egyptian Expatriates’ Affairs in 2015, Egypt has been dedicated to serving its citizens worldwide with innovative initiatives and services. The ministry aims to address the needs of Egyptians living abroad, connect them with their homeland, and engage them in Egypt’s development.
Notable support includes aiding Egyptians in crisis situations, such as wars, conflicts, and natural disasters. Major initiatives like the “Boats of Salvation” have successfully reduced irregular migration. The ministry also focuses on training and employment opportunities for youth, promoting legal pathways and reintegration.
Additionally, the ministry has established the Egyptian-German Center for Jobs, Migration, and Reintegration, providing crucial services for youth aspiring to work in Europe. Investment opportunities, educational initiatives, and aviation discounts further demonstrate Egypt’s commitment to its expatriates.
Through continuous engagement, the ministry ensures expatriates are informed about national projects and challenges, promoting dialogue and enhancing cultural ties. With plans for digital apps and training centers in the pipeline, Egypt continues to prioritize the well-being and success of its citizens abroad.
