Canadian Tourists Can Again Obtain Online Visas for Egypt, Says Joly

Nearly a year after Cairo imposed stricter visa measures on Canadian passport holders, Canada has confirmed that Egypt will soon stop requiring cumbersome visas for Canadian tourists.

Last October, Egypt suspended the option for Canadians to obtain a visa online or upon arrival, which previously cost around $35 for a single individual. Since then, Canadians have been required to pay $150 and submit an application form, passport, and itinerary by post to obtain a visa.
