Traveling to Dubai from Egypt with an expired Egyptian visa
My sister is going to give me a visit visa for me to visit her in Dubai. I'm here in Egypt with a tourist visa which has expired several months ago (April 2015).
My question is can I go to Dubai leaving from Egypt with an an expired Egyptian tourist visa? Will there be any problem if I leave Egypt?
Best Answer
Your problem is not Dubai, your problem will be leaving Egypt. However, accordingly to anecdotal evidence, overstays of "several months" can be settled with a fine of LE 150 paid at the airport on departure. I'm not sure if a half a year is too much, but I would definitely go the airport nice and early, and with a large stack of cash on hand.
