[sardar]

Hi - I have pakistani passport with UK - ILR. I want to visit egypt south sinai resort only for 7 days. Now looking at some visa requirement sites i can see that i am eligible for visa upon arrival for upto 14 days. Can someone please share your experience on this???

thanx buddy

Thnx for ur reply brummie - On ur suggested website it does say 'Valid for south Sinai resorts only.' But after ringing the egyptian consulate I was told that i do need a pre-arrival visa even for south sinai only. Confusing as i would really like to goto sharm but without going all the way down to london just for a stamp

Hey Sardar,
few years ago I went to prague in czech republic. I spent more money going down to london and visa and travel insurance than the trip itself. It was a right pain in the backside.

Thats rite! Too big of a hassle to go all the way down!!! Hence i have decided to goto Turkey instead as there I can get visa stamped on arrival at the airport
