Residence Guidance
Understanding the student residence process in Egypt and what you must do to stay compliant.
What it is
Guidance on the residence process that applies to international students in Egypt: what is required, roughly when, and which documents are involved.
Read this carefully: residence and immigration decisions are made by the Egyptian authorities. NIADO explains the process and helps you prepare. Nobody can guarantee an outcome, and you should distrust anyone who says otherwise.
