This decision had caused concern among those wishing to visit Egypt's wonders without complicating their lives with lengthy administrative formalities. However, there was some good news recently: the <strong>electronic visa<\/strong> for Canadians will make a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspension of electronic visas for Canadians in October came as a real surprise to many. Egypt had been offering this <strong>e-visa<\/strong> at the relatively modest cost of around $35 per person. This service had greatly simplified the travel process for tourists, avoiding tedious paperwork at the local consulate or on arrival at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this suspension, Canadians had to obtain their visas before leaving, adding not only an additional cost but also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visamundi.co\/en\/blog\/egypt-visas-for-canadians-obtained-before-october-1-will-remain-valid\/\">a dose of complexity<\/a> to their travel plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New developments thanks to diplomatic talks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Things began to change when high-level discussions took place between Egyptian and Canadian authorities. Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, <strong>M\u00e9lanie Joly<\/strong>met his Egyptian counterpart <strong>Badr Abdelatty<\/strong> to discuss this sensitive issue. At this meeting, Mr. Abdelatty gave a glimmer of hope by mentioning that Egypt was seriously considering lifting the restriction on electronic visas for Canadians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">This year marks 70 years of strong ties between Egypt and \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6.<br><br>I met with Minister Abdelatty to discuss our shared concerns about the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, security in the region and strengthening our people-to-people ties. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gsItE9Tua9\">pic.twitter.com\/gsItE9Tua9<\/a><\/p>- M\u00e9lanie Joly (@melaniejoly) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/melaniejoly\/status\/1838647689346740534?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 24, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These diplomatic meetings are not just a public relations exercise; they play a crucial role in shaping immigration policies and facilitating international travel.
