Hi, Good evening how can i apply my visit visa to egypt.. I have working visa here in bahrain. Thank u
Hi Mark! Do you know how much is the minimum fund for Bank statement required to get the Tourist Visa to Egypt ? I just need a range/ estimate to prepare.
And what are the chances of getting the VISA? I am traveling alone, female and I’ve only been to Singapore , hence my passport stamp is not that convincing , I guess. I need some advice here.
Thank you
I would prepare PHP 1,500 pesos as my daily expenses in Egypt, plus emergency funds, hotel bookings, entrance tickets etc.

Clearly, this won’t go under Tourist Visa Category. Please contact the nearest Egyptian Embassy.
Do you know how much is the minimum amount required for the bank acct/cert? Thanks.
I do not have the exact amount but I made sure I have PHP 1,500 pesos daily to spend excluding hotel bookings and entrance fees.
