I have lived here long enough renewing my annual tourist visa. It is just that there was a guy on our El Gouna forum advertising prices for Egyptian tours to Egyptians and foreign residents. I emailed him asking him if I qualify for foreign residents prices having resided here for 5 years but without a residents visa but he hasn't replied. I know my annual tourist visa does not get me through the road to Cairo or Luxor without the convoy unless I am on a public bus from Hurghada.

Hi
Can anyone clarify something for me please?
I am a bit confused re what I might need to do re visas? I have had my POA form countersigned by PN here in England and also had this seen/signed by British and Egyptian Consulates in London.
I thought my final step is to now send this to Zeiad in Egypt , however reading some of the threads on here I am wondering whether I need to obtain a visa ?
Any advice much appreciated
Annette

Hi Annette,

As I understand it, we don't need a visa unless we intend to reside in the country. You certainly won't need one at the moment. Unsure whether we do when it comes to registering the property, but that's way in the future. At this stage just send your PoA back to Zeiad, so long as it's been to both the Commonwealth and Consulate for verification this should be fine

Your welcome (I seem to be stalking you tonight! LOL) How are you posting it? I got quotes from DHL and private couriers and they wanted £75 upwards!!!! I just wasn't prepared to pay that, so used good old Royal Mail. It cost £5.30 special delivery which is 'signed for' and insured against loss up to £500. Posted it Tuesday so hopefully Zeiad will confirm he's received it soon

Tell me about it! .. Mind you, still works out considerably cheaper employing an Egyptian lawyer direct rather than going through a UK one which has to use an Egyptian one in any case, if you get what I mean

Know waht you mean, will grin and bear it and keep dreaming of completion day !!!!

sorry, my residents visa and work permit are stamped in my passport, and
I wouldnt give anyone a copy... they do exist, it's more a 'reason to have'
because although not impossible, quite expensive, as without a lawyer
virtually, dont bother, they wont entertain you..

Had a POA notarised in Cardiff yesterday. Only cost £50. I know others have paid this much but some have paid 4 or 5 times more. If anyone living in this part of the world would like the notary's details, send me a PM.
