Due to certain beliefs, I do not want to take biometrics at the Sharm El Sheikh airport. On what legal grounds is it required from tourists? Is it possible to pass face control without submitting biometrics?

the legal basis is the decision of the government of that country. there is only one chance - not to fly, if the principle is more important than the desire to relax.
(sorry if the answer seemed rude)

Face control???
Yes, with such "beliefs" it is better for you to "have a rest" in nightclubs and not travel to other countries.

It doesn't matter if you want to donate or not - DO IT! And in general, your fingerprints, if you have ever crossed the border with a biometric passport, have long been in the database. An additional check, just make sure that you are you, no more, unless of course you are wanted by Interpol)

The same question was answered here recently. Fly through Cairo or Hurghada, they don't take fingerprints there.

Questions like this are amazing. It happens that only upon arrival in one or another country you find out that, for example, they take fingerprints or something else. These are the rules for entering this country and with your own rules you won’t get there. There is only one way out - sit at home, that's for sure, although it is not a fact that your prints will not interest anyone.

As they say - "with your charter to a strange monastery ..." - the decision of the government of the host country must either be respected and go through this procedure at the airport, or not respected and rest at the place of residence
аватар ollennka
You can just fly through another airport. On Sharma, the world did not converge like a wedge, since religion does not allow its prints to be distributed to the right and left.
аватар moy_contakt
ollennka is possible, but from her travel history. We flew to India at different times and up to a certain point the procedure for passing the control was standard (selectively measured the temperature and checked for a rash, etc. the whole flight). but a few years ago they began to take prints. We learned that the procedure had changed upon arrival. We were among the first tourists whose fingerprints were taken, if not the very first board ... Well, that's what to do in such a situation for those who cannot / do not want to leave their fingerprints. Question. Today in Hurghada, Cairo, etc. they do not take fingerprints, but tomorrow they arrived and the procedure has changed ... And you are not required to be informed of these changes - these are the rules for entering the country. Stay at home, otherwise you will suddenly run into. I respect personal beliefs, but sometimes it comes to the point of absurdity. I know those who in Ukraine refused the TIN due to religious beliefs, but now, living in Canada, everything is ok. And codes and docks according to the requirements of the country. And why, because you can’t ask against the rules.
аватар ollennka
Well, no one is safe from absolutely unexpected surprises, but since it is important for a person, I think that with Hurghada and Cairo it’s quite an option.
аватар moy_contakt
ollennka, if everything is correct in the profile of the topicmaster, then the person is from Germany. My sister lives in Berlin (permanent residence for more than 20 years) and as far as I know, fingerprints are taken there for biometrics at the docks and other options (for example, we have the opportunity to refuse the TIN) are not considered. I say, weird people. Where necessary, and without persuasion options, it’s not a hindrance (well, except to change the country of residence).
аватар ollennka
Come on))) I also have Barnaul written in my profile, it doesn't mean that I live there))).
аватар moy_contakt
ollennka, okay or not, but the same biometric passport - they take fingerprints for it. Get around .... get a visa at the embassy and pay extra money if you want to visit the Schengen countries ... UAE without biometrics for 80 ye or free with a biometric passport. it's so fast that I remembered
аватар ollennka
What biometrics, the author has convictions)))). In addition, the author's citizenship is unknown, so the advantages of a Ukrainian biometric passport may not be relevant at all.
аватар moy_contakt
So I'm talking about the fact that with such convictions, let him sit at home. Beliefs .... where are they with them.
аватар ollennka
Well, you are straight categorical.))) In Hurghada, let a person drive away)))).
аватар moy_contakt
Sure, not a problem. I am interested in the actions of such believers, if upon arrival it suddenly turns out that you still need to leave prints (new rules have been introduced) .... I am 100% sure that they will hand over prints, otherwise they will simply not be allowed into the country. And there, even if you are indignant or not ...

Greetings
Of all the airports in Egypt, only Sharm El Sheikh is fingerprinted and photographed so far. This cannot be avoided.
At the airports of Hurghada and Cairo, this system has not yet been introduced, but in the near future it will appear here as well (the corresponding decision has already been made).
You can also get to Egypt through the land border with Israel or by ferry from Jordan - there is no appropriate equipment here yet and will not be in the near future.
Perhaps not a completely correct question, but I am very interested: for what reasons do people not want to take biometrics? Is it religious beliefs or fear of total control, or something else?
аватар ollennka
For religious reasons, they are often refused. Many Old Believers and Mormons, in principle, do not accept passports, not only biometric ones.
аватар vvvasilenko
How long have you been taking biometrics? I was in Sharm in February, I don’t remember something like that ???
аватар Fancase
From the spring of 2019, when arriving in Sharm and departing from Sharm, go through identification.
аватар Tonel
A week ago, nothing was filmed or photographed in Sharma, although scanners and cameras are standing.
Although maybe this is because passports already have biometrics. Maybe someone has an ordinary one and photographed ...
аватар mindguru
Tonel: How many times to say that enhanced security measures are ONLY for Russians and ONLY in the new Sharma terminal? The Egyptians go out of their way to bring back the flow of Russian tourists, but, you see, they don’t like everything ...
__221144: None. If you do not want to comply with the rules for entering the country, sit at home or choose another country for your vacation.
аватар ollennka
mindguru, you forget about the British. They also came with checks.
On November 17, I flew from Sharm to Istanbul, at passport control they scanned my fingers and took pictures of everyone, including passengers of some Ukrainian charter. New or old terminal, don't know.
аватар lana_181
ollennka for us Ukrainians to enter Turkey even with an ordinary Ukrainian passport. id-card.t Perhaps there were transits? And not Ukrainians)
аватар ollennka
And what, does a Ukrainian passport exempt from border control?)) There were ordinary blue passports with a trident.
аватар lana_181
ollennka it frees you from scanning fingerprints and taking pictures, and you just wrote about this.
аватар ollennka
Wait, what does Turkey have to do with it? Sharm el-Sheikh is discussed. There, Ukrainians stood with ordinary blue passports and went through a fingerprint scan like everyone else.
аватар lana_181
ollennka and what does it have to do with from Sharm to Istanbul?))) And where did they check who?))
аватар ollennka
The key was "from Sharm"). Everyone was checked and scanned.
I wrote about the flight to Istanbul so that someone could identify which terminal I flew out of: the new one or the old one, since we were talking about the fact that the procedure is different in them.
аватар lana_181
ollennka farce)) and what is very important from which terminal did you fly to Sharm?)) If you are talking about Istanbul, then what does it have to do with it? And if about Sharm, then there is only one terminal.
