In the past, it was time-consuming and troublesome to apply for a visa on arrival as travelers needed to prepare many kinds of papers. Also, once travelers landed, they needed to wait in a long line at the immigration office to go to the visa on arrival window, where payment could be made only in US dollars. By contrast, today the process of applying for an e-visa is simpler, quicker and more convenient for travelers to visit Egypt.
