Extending my Visa to Egypt-Residency?

Kalis Heart · 2019-08-04T04:38:30+02:00

Good Morning! I have been here in Cairo now for 6 months, just enjoying life. An American living a life long dream. I now need to extend my Visa. I know that Mongamma is where I start. The page giving information is confusing to me. Plus, I know that English is NOT spoken by all there. Very few. I have my passport, my flat contract, I also have copies of my financials if needed. Is there anything else I need-interpreter? Any help would be appreciated. 🙂 Thanks....Kali

Hi, for extending visa you just need housing contract and your passport , the new immigration office is in Al Abbasiyah
This is what I knew from my friends who extended

Thank you for the response but not exactly.

I will now go for the 3rd day in a row. They do not make it easy.

I had my contract and they gave me issues.聽聽I persisted as I know that that is all that was needed.聽 I also had copies of my egy bank, proof of income and all the copies I knew they would ask for. I was prepared.

Nothing is ever easy.聽 This I know.
