Egypt Introduces Visa on Arrival for Turkish Citizens

Turkish citizens will be able to enter Egypt by obtaining a visa on arrival, Türkiye’s charge d'affaires in Cairo announced.

“Our citizens will be able to enter Egypt without obtaining a visa in advance,” said Salih Mutlu Sen on Twitter.

While the Turkish official did not include details on the subject, no official statement has been made from Egypt yet.

Diplomatic relations between Türkiye and Egypt have been maintained at the level of charges d'affaires since 2013.

Given the economic difficulties and increasing inflation in Egypt, the country aims to boost its tourism sector by 30% every year, with the goal of attracting 30 million tourists by 2028.
