Egypt: Relief as legalization deadline extended
The Egyptian government, under the auspices of the Council of Ministers, is granting a one-year extension to the "Host System" program for regularizing the status of foreigners residing in the country illegally. This extension is set to expire on September 12th. The decision includes measures to facilitate the regularization process for violators by allowing them to pay an administrative fee of $1,000 through approved banks or money transfer companies, in exchange for legalizing their residence, provided they have an Egyptian host. This move comes within the framework of the government's steps to implement the "Asylum Law," aimed at regulating the status of refugees and residents. The current asylum cards will remain valid until their expiration or until new cards are issued. Additionally, temporary protection will be provided during certain transitional periods. The decision offers easing measures for violators and alleviates pressure on government agencies, especially given the presence of over 9 million foreigners in the country, most of whom are Sudanese and Syrians.
