Popular African destination to launch new visa-on-arrival system
Egypt, a popular African travel destination for tourists from far and wide, will be piloting a new visa-on-arrival system this June. According to Travel News , the country will launch a new digital, self-service visa-on-arrival system at Cairo International Airport starting mid-June. The new visa system will offer a number of options for travellers to obtain emergency visas upon arrival through a QR code. Visa payments will also be made electronically through self-service kiosks at the airport terminals or via a dedicated mobile app. Travellers will reportedly benefit greatly from the new system, including last-minute arrivals without visas, those with incomplete documents, or individuals who were unable to secure a visa prior to departure. Egyptian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Sherif Fathy, explained that the system will also help streamline the entry procedures for obtaining emergency visas and reduce congestion and overcrowding at airports. This new pilot program is part of the African nation's larger efforts to enhance tourist's visits, improve the efficiency of the entry process, as well as expand Egypt's capacity to accommodate higher tourist arrivals.
