Important Notices:
Anyone who falls into the aforementioned criteria has to acquire an approval from Mogama3 El-Tahrir.
However it’s advisable for anyone who falls into the 18 to 45 age group -even if other criteria are not met- to pay a visit to Mogama3 El-Ta7rir only to make sure that there aren’t any required approvals, and that’s to avoid any bad turn of events.
The approval takes up to 21 days to be processed, we advise you to apply long time ahead to avoid any inconvenience.
Compare flights, book hotels, rent cars, and don’t forget to get your back covered with our travel insurance.
What if I’m only connecting through one of those countries and it’s not my final destination do I still have to get the approval
Please consult the mogama3
