Egypt visa
Cairo
Egypt issues tourist e-Visas through the Ministry of Interior portal, and the rule worth planning around is that the application has to be created at least seven days before departure — this is not a visa to leave until the week you fly. Whether the e-Visa route is open to you depends on your passport rather than your UAE residency, and the alternative is the consulate. We work out which one applies and get the application in with time to spare.
