Philippine and all other nationalities not hereby already mentioned, are required to obtain an ‘Ok to Board’ letter from us and must have a Guarantee letter prior to arrival. Thereafter Visa can be granted on arrival Cairo airport.
To ensure a timely ‘handover’ between changing crew, we recommend that On-signers embark at Port of Entry and Off-signers disembark at Port of Exit. Example: If vessel transit is Northbound, On-signers embark in Suez and Off-signers disembark in Port Said. Vice-versa for southbound transits.
