Greetings,


I am planning to move to Egypt this year with my husband.  We will start off in Cairo but, ultimately desire to live near the sea. We lived in Cairo before. My husband for 10 years and me a couple.  America is my birthplace. Looking forward to connecting. My interest is in writing, travel, dancing, and good conversations.

HI everyone.

My name is Mark, Canadian citizen that expatriated from Canada and currently in India.  I have a home in India, but visa requires me to  always leave after 6 months.  I intend to make Egypt my permanent home, with a residency permit.  I will be looking for assistance in completing forms, and location of embassy to apply.

Will also be searching here for an apartment to rent, so many things a new arrival person needs.  :)

In turn, if you have any questions of upcoming India travel, I can assist.

If you are looking for a coffee companion, I might be quite thirsty.

Cheers

Hello everyone

My name is Paul, im 40 from Ireland.

At present I would not be thinking of moving to Egypt but in future if were possible, absolutely.

I am planning to visit Egypt within the next three to four months.

My interest would be to learn the Egyptian dialect, I have been studying Fusha for many years along with Egyptian Archaeology and the various stages of language that was used in the past, self study.

I am interested in full immersion into local culture and would very much like to make a positive impact in Egypt, thinking along the lines of voluntary aid worker. I would love to chat to local Egyptians here or expats that have lived and worked in Egypt. 

greetings from the island of Ireland.

@Julien Thank you!  My Muslim name is Aya, and I am happy to have found this site.  I was tutoring my lady friends and their daughters in Arabic and working online with my law firm in New York City until my job wanted me back in New York, but I knew that was not the way for me so stayed here.


If anyone has time to answer one burning question I just had, it would be greatly appreciated.  Has any other expat experienced any problems (or hateful attitudes as well) at the passport office, where after one year, the tourist visa was not ready ("had not yet arrived") after two weeks, then not after three weeks, and finally after a month, it "arrived," but not before I went to almost every window asking why suddenly it was taking at least a month this time?


Thank you very much.
