TL;DR
Yes, as of late July 2026 travelers still fill out a paper arrival/immigration card on landing in Sharm El Sheikh, despite talk about switching to an electronic version.
Travelers confirm that on arrival in Sharm El Sheikh you're still handed a paper immigration card to fill out — the planned cancellation hasn't actually happened yet.
There have been repeated announcements about scrapping the paper migration cards, but in practice nothing has changed yet — don't count on the new system before it's actually confirmed.
There's talk of Egypt moving to electronic migration cards instead of the paper passport stickers, but so far it's still just an announced plan, not reality.
