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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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?

For religious reasons, they are often refused. Many Old Believers and Mormons, in principle, do not accept passports, not only biometric ones.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.
