Documentation required for a work permit in Egypt

In April 2011 it was reported that Egypt was in the process of revising its work permit regulations for foreigners - which comes as no surpise, given the fact that the country has been in a state of upheavel for the last year. 

In short, the new gov't seems like its trying to curb Egyptian unemployment by making it more difficult for expats to find a job in Egypt, and you NEED a job contract in order to get a work permit. 

That said, if you have a job offer, then much of the burden of the permit falls on the shoulders of the hiring organisation. Here's what you'll need to provide them with to apply for a work permit in Egypt: 

• Completed work permit application form from the Manpower and Training Directorate-Tahrir Complex. 

• Valid passport

• 7 x passport photos

• 2 x company incorporation contract. 

• 2 x Tax ID Card. 

• A copy of the commercial register. 

• 2 x certificates of any academic degrees associated with your profession

• If your profession requires a license (i.e. doctor or lawyer) then a copy of that license

• A memorandum justifying the recruitment of the foreigner for that job, stating the reasons for not recruiting an Egyptian as well as the tasks assigned to the foreigner together with the name of the Egyptian assistant whose qualifications and experience are consistent with the foreigner. 

• Approval of the related Authority (e.g. Investment Authority, Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation etc.). 

• A delegation from the company to the person who is going to apply for the work permit on your behalf
