A security clearance is authorisation issued by the competent authorities in Egypt or Jordan, proving that you do not pose a security risk and allowing you to reside, work, and carry out legal procedures in the country. It also serves as a substitute for a travel visa. Without it, you will not be allowed to enter either country.

Egypt's approval

• Once approval has been obtained, the airport notification step must be completed, during which your name will be circulated in Egyptian airports before your arrival.
• This step requires sending a copy of your travel ticket or stating your travel dates, the country of departure, and the name of the airline you will be travelling with.
• It is advisable to send the ticket early to ensure the circular is completed within the same timeframe as the security clearance is issued.
