Information on the exit-stamp policy of the Egyptian government [EGY6876]
According to one of the representatives of the Arab League in
Ottawa, the Egyptian authorities put an exit-stamp in the passport
of everyone (Egyptian or foreigner) who leaves Egypt (telephone
interview, 17 December 1990).
A representative of the Egyptian Embassy in Ottawa claims that the
Egyptian authorities stamp the passports of all the people who
enter or leave Egypt regardless of their nationalities (telephone
interview, 18 December 1990). The representative holds that the
Egyptian immigration authorities also mention the date of entry and
exit of all the passengers in their passports (Ibid.). According to
the same source, these rules are applied to Egyptians and
non-Egyptian who have dual citizenship whether leaving or entering
Egypt while in possession of either Egyptian or other passports
(telephone interview, 18 December 1990).
Corroboration of the above information is currently unavailable to
the IRBDC.
