New Tourist Visas Extension Law

Thanks to Kim at Whazzup Egypt Blog for this information. Useful info for all. In a snippet a pure tourist cannot extend the 3 month visa, as before. I can see a run on marriages to Egyptians - that is one way to get a residence visa. Been thinking how good fee paid marriage broker I could be??? Well maybe I better look after my own, before I send others down this road.

Update from comment posted in Whazzup Egypt Blog

Hi there,
I went to the Mogamma last week and they are still issuing 12 month tourist visas for foreigners, which can be renewed multiple times. I saw it happen in front of me.
It does depend on nationality - some countries like Korea, India, South Africa etc have different rules, but Australia, W. Europe, USA and UK have no issues.
Particular individuals may have problems but there isn't a blanket change to the system.
Cheers,
Andrew
