There are no accelerated procedures for registration or asylum applications in Egypt, whether under the current system or 2024 Asylum Law.

With UNHCR, there is no clear legal provision granting priority or urgency to certain applicants. In some cases, UNHCR partner organizations may submit requests to expedite the processing of specific cases, such as unaccompanied children, persons with disabilities or pregnant women. Those categories are explicitly given priority under Law No. 164 of 2024.
