Good day, I am interested to apply visa to Egypt. Im planning to visit the historical place on April 2018. Is that possible to apply online? I am not residing in Luzon, its difficult for me to apply. My concern is I don’t have time to wait for my visa. Im leaving Philippines within 5 days. My residential place don’t have Egypt embassy. I’m residing in Seychelles and planning to go in Moscow before flying to Egypt. Your advice is highly appreciated.

Hi po I’m Mae filipina i live in Czech Republic ask ko lng po need ko parin po ba kumuha ng visa sa 8days tour ko sa Egypt with Czech husband? the tour was package flights and hotel. Thanks!
Hi! Mark. I have a question regarding on the type of visa I needed? I’ll be having my exchange program by April to June (6-8 weeks) through AIESEC EP? Should I get the tourist visa or the entry visa? The AIESEC in Egypt will send me the invitation letter and as well as other necessary information about my Exchange Program. I tried to contact them yesterday but there was no answer.
Update:
So the embassy will decide for what type of Visa will I be getting. The initial requirements they asked for was Invitation Letter from the Hosting body, Scanned Copy of my passport’s bio page, Affidavit of support or cover letter, and Certificate of Employment. So do you have any idea Mark up to when will I get a response from them? I don’t want to annoy them by calling them about the progress of my application even if it’s been 3 days yet.
At least 15 days. As far as I know, your application is sent by batch to another country for approval.
