What is the idea?
Security approval is a mandatory procedure for nationalities requiring a special entry permit to Egypt, including Yemenis. However, in the case of bringing First-degree relatives (such as a spouse, father, mother, or children), residents themselves are entitled to submit the application directly at the passport office, instead of resorting to travel agencies that charge high additional fees.
