How can we process the tourist visa sir mark
Hello po. Filipino po ako but I am now living in the UK. I am flying to the Philippines for holiday this June (15days) and also planning to get the Eygptian Visa there. Quick query po, is it okay to apply in the Egyptian embassy in Manila even though I’m now a Filipino non-resident. Kung 15 days ang processing, pag na-approve ang visa at binigay mo na passport sa embassy for the actual visa, ganu katagal bago sya ulit bumalik sayo?
Thanks
I’m thinking within the day kasi sticker lang yata yun na ididikit. Pero ask mo na din baka nagbago ulit ung policy nila 🙂
Hi Mark,
Im working here in Riyadh and planning to go to Egypt this April, sabi ng supervisor ko na Egyptian, need pa daw ng criminal background check for Filipinos tas finger print daw gagawin sa Egyptian Embassy. Any idea about this? Embassy na ata nila ang magchecheck mismo through finger print. Need pa ba ng show money? I cant seem to find reliable information sa website nila.
thank you
Not sure about the process in Riyadh 🙁

He can directly apply for a tourist visa. Just ask him to submit the required documents and wait at least 15 days. It’s easy.
