Foreign residents in Egypt face a June 30 deadline to obtain a mandatory registration card essential for accessing state services, according to the Ministry of Interior. The card, which is issued by the General Administration of Passports, Immigration, and Nationality, is crucial for those exempt from the residency permit requirement. Failing to secure this card by the deadline could result in the cessation of state services and potential deportation procedures that apply uniformly, regardless of nationality. This measure is part of Egypt's broader efforts to regulate the residency status of foreigners, including those residing illegally. Recently, the Egyptian government extended the regularization period by an additional six months, allowing those affected until September to legalize their status under specific conditions, including a $1,000 administrative fee.
