Egypt will pilot a new digital, self-service visa-on-arrival system at Cairo International Airport from mid-June.
The new system will offer various options for travellers to obtain emergency visas upon arrival through a QR code. Visa payments will be made electronically through self-service kiosks at airport terminals or via a dedicated mobile app.
This is likely to benefit last-minute travellers, those with incomplete documents, or individuals who were unable to secure a visa prior to departure.
The new system aims to reduce congestion at the airport and streamline entry procedures for international visitors.
