CAIRO – 10 June 2023: Egypt introduced on Saturday new automate visas for Sudanese travelers after spotting visa forgery activities by some individuals and groups in Sudan, Egyptian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid has said. As a result, Egypt has introduced regulatory procedures that depend on automated visas to confront these crimes, Abu Zeid said, according to a statement by the Foreign Ministry. He stressed that the new regulations do not aim to prevent or limit the number of Sudanese citizens traveling to Egypt. Since the start of the crisis, Egypt has received more than 200,000 Sudanese people to be added to around 5 million Sudanese citizens that have resided in Egypt since before the crisis, Abu Zeid said. The responsibility for providing the health, educational and housing infrastructure for all the Sudanese citizens in Egypt rests with the Egyptian government, which is responsible for providing basic services to the Sudanese citizens on its territory, Abu Zeid said.
