Other

RequiredYou must get security approval from the business support office before your student permit can be issued.
Why applications on this route get refused
No security approval
Your student permit is issued only after security approval from the business support office.
How to avoid it: Start the security approval step early with your institution's business support office, before your course begins.
Passport valid for less than 6 months
The passport must be valid for at least six months, so a passport close to expiry does not meet the requirement.
How to avoid it: Renew your passport before you apply if it has less than six months left.
Not enough proof of money
You need to show money to support your stay and to cover a ticket home. Missing or unclear evidence of either does not meet the requirement.
How to avoid it: Bring clear bank or sponsor evidence, and either a return ticket or proof you can pay for one.
Arriving without an embassy visa when one is needed
Students from the nine listed countries must get their entry visa from an Egyptian embassy or consulate before arriving.
How to avoid it: If your passport is from one of the listed countries, apply at the Egyptian embassy or consulate where you live well before your travel date.
