Factory visits and industrial land in Egypt: official bodies and checklist

The key to a factory or land visit is checking that licences are genuine and valid and that land documents are complete. This page lists the authorities and laws, and the documents you can ask to see during a visit. Detailed requirements are set by the authorities on the day; Wang Fu provides on-site Chinese–Arabic interpreting.

FAQ

Does Wang Fu judge the factory?

We interpret, accompany and translate documents into Chinese; technical and legal judgement belongs to your engineer, lawyer or an independent inspection body.

Can the visit be remote?

Yes, we can arrange a video link with on-site interpreting, with a written quote.
