The Ministry of Immigration announced on Monday that the tax-free car import initiative for Egyptian expats has been extended for another 3 months, following the approval of President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi of Law No. 174 of 2023. The law aims to facilitate certain procedures for Egyptians residing abroad and was published in the Official Gazette.
Minister of State for Immigration and Egyptian Expatriates’ Affairs, Soha Gendi, said that the law allows the reactivation of the initiative for those who did not benefit from it in the first phase. She added that the Cabinet has the authority to extend the period for a similar duration if needed.
Gendi explained that the reopening of the initiative came after receiving many requests from Egyptians abroad through the “An Hour with the Minister” initiative and the Fourth Edition of the Conference of Egyptians Abroad, which was organized by the Ministry of Immigration in late July.
