Egypt: Visa process help please:

Hi Tiffany! Did anyone actually answer your question about how to get your visa? I am an American and I moved married my husband here, so getting my visa was probably a littler simpler than yours would be if you marry abroad. Honestly, if you plan to live in Egypt it might be easier to make it legal here...because your getting a visa will basically be you guys running around to like 2-4 different governmental offices to certify, stamp, prove your marriage, blah blah blah.... and it's a really big pain with Egyptian papers; so I imagine it could be a bigger pain with papers from outside. Once we finally took the last steps at the immigration offices, all of our documentation in hand, to get my residency, we just filled out a 1 or 2 page application and gave it to the lady at the window. She told us they would send someone to our building to ask our neighbors about us and whether we're really married (to prevent me using my husband for a visa, LOL) and to return in 2 weeks. I can't say whether or not anyone ever came to investigate us, but 2 weeks later we showed up and got a big residency sticker placed in my passport (Hooray, I'm legal!) If you have any more specific questions, please lmk and I'll try to help. I signed up for this website just to chime in....Best wishes in your marriage girly!!! (PS, you may want to live here for some months before deciding to move here. I don't think it's anything like Austrailia :P)
