Head of Mission: Ambassador Ahmed Ezzat
Just called the Embassy, Filipina answered the fone and went like, ” how did I get the information about the requirements? from the bloggers?”. Whats wrong with her? Anyhow, she had asked me to send an email to egyptmanila@gmail.com
Some blogs are outdated. And some people probably do not believe the embassy staff because of outdated information is written on the internet. Anyhow, follow their instruction.
Hi sir. Need pa po ba Ng ITR kahit employee Lang or freelance Lang ang job? Salamat po.
Hello Mark, Is there a format of Tour Program Itinerary? What if we are not going to purchase tour in agencies? Is it possible?
It’s ok to have a tour as itinerary but I recommend buying it from accredited travel agencies.
hi, is the visa fee still the same? thank you!
Hi I am a filipino and I want to go Egypt for tour, is it easy to apply the visa for the tourist?
What do you mean by “you can keep your passport while waiting”? Aren’t they going to get my passport while processing? What will be the process? Thanks!
In my case, they get the copy of my passport and give it back. Bring your passport to them after 15 days for visa issuance if visa is approved.
