Thanks a lot for sharing this with all people you really realize what you’re speaking about!

I agree. The staff at Egypt Embassy are helpful.
Yes, they are really helpful and even give you tips in your documents.
Hi I’m annmarie i want to go egypt to meet the family of my boyfriend… still i need a bank certificate.
Yes if you will apply as a tourist.
Hi, Mark! Thanks for sharing this. I wonder what tips the embassy may have given you? Please email me if the information is sensitive. Thank you. More travels!
It’s about my case as an OFW in Vietnam applying for a visa in the Philippines. They gave me tips on accurate documents specifically for my case.
Hi Mark! I would just like to ask if 15 days is the earliest possible time they can release the visa? Are there chances of having it in less than 15 days? Thank you. Your blog post has been a huge help.
Hi Jam, I also asked about it. If I’m not mistaken, they send them all by batch to the Egypt Embassy in Japan and 15 days is minimum but there’s maybe a possibility that your application has been delivered back to Manila earlier than 15 days that they won’t tell you when unless, maybe, if you go there and ask them. I think they don’t have consular service in the Philippines reason why they have to do it.
Hi again! Thanks for your response. In my case, they didn’t get my passport, they just asked to submit the papers and said they will call me once the visa’s issued. Anyways, have you tried this yourself?
You still need to bring your passport for cross-checking. They will xerox and give your passport back to you since the application might take longer than 15 days or 1 month. But don’t forget to bring your passport once they call you to claim your visa. The embassy is helpful on what applicants exactly need to do.
Hi again! Thanks for replying, Mark. A few more questions. Did you travel alone? If yes, did you indicate anywhere in your application form or itinerary that you were traveling solo? I heard that visa refusal is rather common for solo travelers. Also, about the tour itinerary, did you try your best to make it as detailed as possible? Including names of hotels, telephone numbers, etc. Looking forward to your response. Cheers!
Hi Tristan, I didn’t. Mine was a plain itinerary. Not sure about visa denials but I guess if you’re a woman traveling alone without travel history.
Great! Thanks again for accommodating my questions, Mark. More travels!
Hi i ll be applying a tourist visa to them but my concern is i dont work but hamdullilah i can support my trip and i have enough funds to suppott my document.I ll be going to sharm el sheihk for one week. Will they accept if i only have bank ststement hotel bookings and flight itenirary? Thanks
Hi Stella, I’m not sure about submitting an application with missing document. A majority of all visa application requirements must be complete and accurate. I would suggest calling the embassy about your case. They answer phone calls and help you right away.
