The Government of National Unity (GNU) announced on Monday that the system for providing visas to foreigners electronically will be opened starting from mid-next March, in a step aimed at facilitating entry procedures for foreigners and visas for temporary tasks.
Government officials held a meeting to follow up on launching the visa system, where the government statement said that the meeting reviewed the system in its final form and approved it to start working on it after coordination between the Passports and Nationality Authority and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
