[Angel Eyes Yuseef 5]

I know, now that I am married to a Egyptain that I do not need to purchase the $15 visa. But what exactly do I do. I need my marriage certificate, that I know. What do I do and what do i need to expect. Any help< i greatly appericate.

Probably not the exact answer you're looking for but after I was married and went back to Egypt I went through customs as usual. Just like I did the first time I visited. I imagine it's the same when you're married, they didn't seem to have a seperate line for married people. I didn't bring my copy of my marriage certificate with me so I paid the $15 like everyone else. No biggie. Just stand in the line and present your marriage cert. I suppose. I'm sure they've dealt with that before and know what to do. They can tell you if you're in the wrong place. Most people who work at the airports (I've been to two different ones there) speak decent English.

When I was going thru customs I just presented my marriage license with my passport. No problems! Never

had to pay the $15 once we were married.

I feel like such a dummy now...we have been married over 2 years and I never realized this...I've always just gone ahead and purchased the $15 entry visa....not that it's a lot of money, but still this is great news! I was planning on attempting to go straight through the line this time on the basis that my 1 yr residence stamp doesn't expire until June 12, 2011, but wasn't sure it would work since it's been 7 months that I've been outside of Egypt...if anyone knows whether or not that invalidates my residency visa, please reply...either way, looks like I've got two ways to try and enter now....thanks for the post

Once you get to the airport, just get in line to show your passport and your marriage contract. I didn't even go up and purchased the $15 visa. No problem, stamped and on my way!

Thanks ladies, I thought it would be really easy. Just had to make sure.

2nd time I went, I was married and brought my marriage cert to the counter and got my visa. I remember the guys behind the counter that saw my marriage cert smiled and said something like "oh you're married to an egyptian" I said yes and they stamped my passport. Simple and easy Then I went through the line of customs and the guy that looked in my passport smiled and said "oh your name is Tamara" Yes again and I was done. Simple and easy
