Egypt maintains relaxed visa requirements for GCC residents

Egypt is maintaining lax visa measures for incoming Gulf residents in a bid to encourage Gulf tourism, the Tourism Ministry said. These procedures apply to Maghreb nationals accompanying Gulf tourists, provided they have a residency that is valid for six months. Indian, Pakistani, Indonesian, Filipino, and Sri Lankan nationals who also reside in the GCC can get tourist visas on arrival, if their residency is valid for at least six months.
