If this goes through then its the latest in a line of idiotic decisions.
Egypt to end visas on arrival for all foreign tourists as of May 15 | Cairo Post
IF it goes ahead (i doubt it will) it means EVERY visitor will have to get a visa in advance from a consulate or embassy unless they use an Egyptian travel company.
Firstly the chaos and workload this will cripple the places that aren't exactly efficient at the best of times. It'll remove the "last minute holiday" deals as well. I can see a lot of people not bothering.
This military junta seems capable of always doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.
If it's introduced, its a spectacular own goal!
(other outlets are reporting it too).
