CAIRO – 20 September 2021: Minister of Immigration and Egyptian Expats Affairs Nabila Makram stated Monday that optional life and personal accident insurance will be offered for expats who wish to subscribe. The Egyptian government has introduced an insurance policy meant to protect and support nationals traveling abroad, its media center said in August. An insurance document should be issued with each Egyptian passport and should be used within 90 days from departure, the report said. Worth 300 pounds, the traveler insurance document is issued with each new or renewed Egyptian passport for citizens aging more than one month and less than 85 years old. The traveler insurance program does not cover Egyptians residing or studying abroad, as well as pilgrims and illegal immigrants.
