Egypt is set to launch the pilot phase of its new electronic visa (e-Visa) system in August 2026, according to an infographic released by the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Cabinet. The initiative is designed to simplify entry procedures for international travelers, reduce visa processing times and accelerate the digital transformation of the country's tourism sector as Egypt seeks to strengthen its position as a leading global travel destination.
The infographic highlights that the new system will allow travelers to apply for visas online before departure, reducing paperwork and improving efficiency at airports and border crossings. Officials say the e-Visa platform is expected to enhance Egypt's competitiveness, attract more international visitors, support tourism and investment, and align the country's travel procedures with international best practices as part of its broader digital government strategy.
