On-arrival visas to be scrapped within 6-8 months: Egypt's tourism minister
Individual tourists will be required to obtain a visa via a new system before they come to Egypt when the changes are implemented
Ahram Online , Monday 6 Apr 2015
Egypt will no longer allow tourists from certain countries to obtain a visa on arrival at the airport "within six to eight months" said the country's tourism ministry on Tuesday.
The change in visa regulations will require all individual tourists to obtain a visa before travelling to Egypt, in place of a current system whereby citizens of a number of countries are able to purchase a tourist visa on entry to Egypt.
Tourists travelling with tour operators will still be able to purchase a visa on arrival.
