Kulanso Travels brings you an important update for Saudi citizens residing in Egypt. The Egyptian Interior Ministry has recently announced a critical deadline for foreigners living in Egypt to obtain a smart residence card. This announcement affects all foreigners exempt from traditional residence permits, including our fellow Saudis.

Key Points to Note:

1. Urgent Deadline: All Saudi citizens and other foreigners living in Egypt must register their data with the General Administration of Passports, Immigration, and Nationality by 30 June 2024 to acquire a smart residence card. Failure to comply by this date could result in loss of access to essential services.

2. Smart Residence Card: This card is essential as it ensures uninterrupted access to various services provided by Egyptian government sectors. The card is part of Egypt’s effort to streamline residency documentation and services for foreigners.

3. Registration Process: To obtain the smart residence card, you need to submit your documents to the General Administration of Passports, Immigration, and Nationality. This step was first requested in April, when all foreigners were urged to renew their residency and regularize their status.

4. Why It’s Important: The smart residence card will replace previous forms of residence documentation. It’s crucial for accessing public services, healthcare, banking, and more. Ensuring you have this card will make your stay in Egypt smoother and legally compliant.

How to Proceed:

• Visit the General Administration: Head to the nearest office of the General Administration of Passports, Immigration, and Nationality to submit your registration.
• Prepare Your Documents: Ensure you have all necessary documents ready. This typically includes your passport, current residence documentation, and any other identification required by the authorities.
• Seek Assistance: If you need help navigating the registration process, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Embassy in Egypt can provide guidance and support. It’s important to act promptly to meet the deadline.
