Egypt work permits for Chinese staff
An Egyptian "work visa" is really two steps: the employer applies for a work permit for the foreign employee, then the employee obtains work residence based on that permit. Requirements change, so treat this as general guidance.
Usually required
- Passport and valid entry visa.
- Degrees or professional qualifications, legalized.
- Police clearance certificate, often required and legalized.
- Employer company documents and the employment contract.
- Photos, medical checks and other items as requested.
Process notes
Applications go through the labour authorities and include security review, which can take time. After approval, residence is processed by the passports and immigration authority. Keep entry visas valid meanwhile and keep every receipt.
Our role
We translate documents, arrange certified translations, accompany filings and interpret official notices. We do not approve anything and cannot promise outcomes or timelines.
Planning tips for HR teams
Start document legalization in China before the employee travels; it is the slowest step to fix later. Keep a tracker per employee with entry visa expiry, permit stage and residence expiry. Renew early. Make sure names are spelled identically in passports, contracts and certificates, because mismatches are a common reason for files being returned.
Documents and employment basics
- Legal status first: work permit and residence, renewed on time.
- Legalize degrees and police certificates before leaving home.
- Keep copies and photos of passports, residence pages and permits.
- Have contracts and rules in Arabic as well.
- When unsure, follow the authority and a lawyer.
