Hello everyone!

I'd like to know if someone is planning to go n work in Egypt and how's he going to deal with the new Labour laws?! Because now it's not that easy to get a work permission. I'm looking for people to tell me what fields still need foreigners. Tourism? Call Centers?
Thank you so much for your answers!

Your boss has to get you a work permit.

I got letter from my boss in order to get a work permit, and when I went to the government building to get the visa, they just said, 'eh, we'll give you a six month temp residence visa, and just renew it every 6 months.' There wasn't much arguing. Perhaps it was more laid back because I'm in the arts? I don't know, but it was kinda funny...just my experience.

is in the permit written that work is not permitted?
