Starting from 20 August 2026 TLScontact will implement a new appointment allocation system at the visa application centre in New Cairo.

Which visa types are concerned?

• Short-stay visa (less than 90 days)

What is the new procedure to book an appointment?

1. Register on the TLScontact website and enter the required personal information in the online form.

1. Once your application is validated, you will receive a confirmation that it has been placed in the waiting queue.

1. You will be assigned an appointment according to the order of your registration on the waiting list, and you will receive an email with the allocated appointment.

1. You must pay the service fees within the deadline indicated in the email to confirm your appointment.

1. Fill out the visa application form on the VIDEX website, print it out, and bring it along with the other required application documents to your appointment.

Why is this change being introduced?

This new process is being implemented for certain visa types to protect applicants against fraudulent and costly third-party appointment booking agencies. Our goal is to ensure fair and equal access to appointments for all genuine visa applicants.

We thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

The TLScontact Team
