Egypt: Power of Attorney Now Required Where Legal Representative Used in Residence Permit Application

Effective immediately, all foreign nationals and their dependents applying for a residence permit (both initial applications and renewal) through a legal representative must provide a power of attorney (POA) notarized in Egypt authorizing that representative to handle the residence permit application process, whereas one was not previously required for this process.  A new POA is required each time a residence permit is renewed.
