As part of efforts made by the Egyptian state to revitalize tourism, 28 new nationalities have been allowed to obtain tourist visas electronically – thus bringing the total nationalities that can obtain an electronic tourist visa to 74, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said in a statement. The Deputy Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Ghada Shalaby said that this step comes in conjunction with the passage of a year since Egypt resumed the incoming tourism movement on July 1, 2020. She added the update will contribute to encouraging many tourists of different nationalities to visit Egypt. The portal allocated for obtaining an e-tourist visa is supported in eight languages. Shalaby said the visa is issued in a maximum of seven days.
