Visa Launches Tap-to-Add Card in Egypt For Digital Wallets
Mar 10, 2025
Visa has launched Tap-to-Add Card in Egypt, offering a new way for users to add their contactless cards to digital wallets with a tap on their mobile devices. By eliminating manual data entry, the feature aims to enhance both security and convenience, reducing errors and preventing fraud. Once tapped, the card is added using a unique one-time code verified by Visa's authentication system.
The feature is designed to streamline the user experience, making digital payments faster and more accessible. Banks and issuers are also expected to benefit, as Tap-to-Add Card is designed to help reduce provisioning fraud, lower customer service inquiries, and increase transaction approval rates.
Visa's expansion in Egypt follows the country's broader push for digital financial inclusion. As Egypt moves toward becoming a cashless economy, digital payments have surged, with major financial institutions adopting new technologies to support the transition.

Kuwait Opens Tourist Visa‑On‑Arrival for All GCC Residents
Visitors no longer need to apply ahead of time or meet specific job criteria - now a passport and proof of residency are enough to cross the border. Anyone living in a GCC country with a valid residency permit of at least six months can obtain a tourist visa on arrival in Kuwait. The new regulation replaces a 2008 policy that limited entry to certain professions and excluded many residents from quick access. Under the updated rule, tourism to Kuwait becomes simpler for longtime residents of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. Visitors no longer need to apply ahead of time or meet specific job criteria - now a passport and proof of residency are enough to cross the border. Contextually, the change comes as Kuwait joins other GCC nations in making regional travel smoother. It follows the launch of the country's revamped e‑Visa platform and fits within a wider shift in Gulf policy towards more inclusive mobility in tandem with the anticipated launch of a unified GCC tourist visa
