Hi,
Aside from the required documents you stated above, are there any additional papers you presented? (e.g. intent letter, accommodation reservations, and airline reservations)
Base on my experience If you have invitation letters from your friend or relatives in egypt, no need for the hotel reservation and flight booking or tickets. You must also attach the copy of passport of someone who send you an invitation letter. Otherwise you have to go with the travel agency and submit hotel and airfare tickets or booking.

How long did you have to wait to get your Egyptian visit visa? Did you had an interview prior to your visa approval? I tried to apply 2 weeks ago but they told me i have to wait and they will call for interview, unfortunately upto this date i still haven’t heard anything from them.
