Still no update on Visas at the Canadian Global Affairs site.
Also ….
Has anybody read the Global Relations blurb on things that cannot be brought into Egypt? It prohibits psychotropic drugs (whether you have a prescription or not). Also certain cosmetics (huh?) and veterinarian meds.
I googled “psychotropic drugs” and it includes a range of mental health medications.
Perhaps they’re only targeting marijuana, but that’s not what it says. I’ll try to get some clarification and post.
Starting October 1, 2023, Canadian passport holders will not be able to obtain a visa online before travelling to or upon arrival in Egypt. You will be required to obtain a visa from an Egyptian embassy or consulate abroad.
Electronic visas issued prior to October 1, 2023, will remain valid until their expiry date.
If you are planning to travel to Egypt, you should contact the nearest Egyptian embassy or consulate before you go.
