WORKING in egypt - employers and employees look here

[queenie40something]

Hi Georgina - Im still laughing from your 1st paragraph with the vision in my head LOL. Dont worry your are not coming across as giving out negative comments and we welcome to hear these comments from expats living in Egypt. I agree with you about the wages and the Egyptians working in a purpose resort like Sharm rely on the tips and Im sure they do very well out of it. Eg the cleaners normally get a tip of around £10 for each hotel room they clean and if a min of 20 vacate the rooms each week they clean that is a whooping £200 a week which is very good compared to the low cost of living - even though prices have gone up. Alot of workers we have met do really on the tips which they send home to their families to survive.

Hello Valquiria,

Wecome to the forum.

Are you moving to Sharm?. We have many members now that have bought property there and several of them are moving out to live permanently quite soon.

Alison (queenie40something) is very knowledgable on the Sharm area but unfortunately she's having problems with her internet connection and has been offline for a few days. I'm sure she'll reply as soon as she's able but meantime other Sharm members might be able to help. We have a few threads for people buying property there and maybe if you introduced yourself on this thread: http://www.totallyproperty.com/egypt-property/7504-introductions-39.html, it's possible that you would get more replies

Best wishes

Linda

For every foreigner employed they must employ ten Egyptians.

I agree Georgina. The company my husband works for in Cairo has problems every year when it is time to renew work permits. The ratio is 10 Egyptians to 1 expat and if you don't meet the quota and are legally applying for work permits for foreign staff, the government can make life quite difficult for you.

With unemployment as high as it is in Egypt I can understand why the Egyptian government is trying to look after its own. However, this law does make it difficult for foreigners trying to start up small businesses legally if they have to employ as many as 10 locals initially. I know someone who had to close his successful business in Cairo because he could not sustain the level of employees required by this law.

Hello, i contact some places to work in sharm during 6 month. They told me that the contract to work is done when arrive there, and after they will ask for a visa to work. Do you know if is possible entry with tourist visa and after ask for a work visa???? In europe normally you can not do this, you have to come to the country with the contract signed!!!
Thank you

 

[queenie40something]

Hi if they dont arrange the visa for you it can be quite difficult to obtain once in Egypt. You also need to get an aids test done as well. Try to find a company thst will arrange your visa for you.
