Visas, residence permits and documents in Egypt in plain words

This rubric gathers articles about the documents you cannot do without in Egypt: the visa on entry and its extension, the residence permit for students and workers, exit rules, translating and legalising papers, marriage and the birth of a child, a lost passport and the work of the CIS embassies in Cairo.

Laws and fees in Egypt change often, so every article says what is officially confirmed and what is better checked at the passports office or the embassy. When the rules change, the articles are updated.

If you need help with translation, legalisation or appointments, see the listings in documents, visas, translations.
