Egypt has announced new visas as part of a wider effort to attract more tourists and visitors and boost vital economic growth. The country will issue five-year multiple-visit visas for $700, which is the first time Egypt has offered visas valid for multiple years. The move comes as Egypt looks to boost tourism revenue, which has been declining in recent years.
New visa options
The new visas will be available to citizens of 180 countries, and will allow them to stay in Egypt for up to 90 days at a time. The visas can be renewed multiple times, and holders will be able to travel in and out of Egypt freely for the duration of the visa.
Attracting more than 30 million visitors
The move is seen as a major step in Egypt’s efforts to attract more tourists and visitors. The country is targeting 30 million tourists a year by 2028, and needs to grow at a rate of more than 25% per year to reach this goal. The new visas are expected to help Egypt achieve this goal by making it easier for people to visit the country.
Boosting its economy
The move is also seen as a boost to Egypt’s economy. Tourism is a major source of income for Egypt, and the new visas are expected to generate billions of dollars in revenue. The move is also expected to create new jobs in the tourism industry.
The new visas are a major step forward for Egypt, and are expected to have a positive impact on the country’s economy and tourism industry. The move is also seen as a sign of Egypt’s commitment to attracting more tourists and visitors.
In addition to the five-year multiple-visit visas, Egypt has also announced a number of other measures to attract more tourists. These include:
These measures are expected to make it easier for people from all over the world to visit Egypt, and are a sign of the country’s commitment to becoming a major tourist destination.
- Increasing the number of countries that can obtain a 30-day visa-on-arrival to 180.
- Offering a free visa for Chinese and Indian citizens.
- Allowing Iranian tourists to arrive directly.
- Allowing Turkish tourists to obtain an urgent entry visa from various ports and airports without being restricted to a specific age.

These measures are expected to make it easier for people from all over the world to visit Egypt, and are a sign of the country’s commitment to becoming a major tourist destination.
