Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Sherif Fathy, has announced that a pilot visa-on-arrival program will launch at Cairo International Airport in mid-June
As part of the initiative, travelers requiring an urgent visa will be able to apply upon arrival by scanning a QR code. Visa fees can be paid electronically—either at self-service kiosks in the arrivals hall or through a dedicated mobile app, according to the Egypt State Information Service.
Minister Fathy explained that the program aims to streamline the application and payment process, reducing congestion in the airport’s arrival area.
In the coming weeks, the Ministry of Tourism will work alongside airport authorities, government agencies, and the technology provider to assess the pilot’s effectiveness before potentially expanding the system to other airports nationwide.
