Common questions
Can Egypt citizens extend their stay in Germany?
The standard stay is as specified by the visa. Extensions may or may not be available depending on local immigration policy. Contact the nearest immigration office in Germany for current procedures.
Do I need health insurance to visit Germany?
While not always mandatory for entry, comprehensive travel health insurance is strongly recommended when visiting Germany. Some European countries require proof of health insurance as part of visa or entry requirements. EU/EEA citizens may have partial coverage through the EHIC card, but full travel insurance is still advised for non-EU visitors.

It depends on the type of visa you apply for. A tourist visa does not permit work. You would need a specific work visa or employment permit.
