The Egyptian government has announced new immigration policies to boost tourism. Travelers can enjoy a 96-hour transit visa until April 2025, expanded to include all Egyptian airlines. Foreigners arriving at Luxor-Aswan International Airports during summer via Egyptian airlines qualify for a free emergency entry visa. South Africa, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan citizens can now get emergency entry visas upon arrival and access the electronic visa portal (E-visa).
These measures aim to simplify travel and attract more international visitors to Egypt.
