All of us Egyptians know that the struggle to apply for a visa is real! Countless documents, healthcare insurance—and the actual wait for visa issuance are almost always a pain, as well as an expense.
Don’t you wish you could just pack up your bags, book an air ticket at a moment’s notice and be on the next flight out to your desired destination?
Luckily, our green passport can get us to 55 countries—without a visa. Many countries in Asia, Africa and South America welcome Egyptian passport holders with arms wide open.
Often mistaken for an agenda book, our old passport was the cause for severe embarrassment and ridicule from foreign friends to customs officers—but these days are over now.
Gone are the days when we had to hide our gigantic passport in our pockets—which always managed to pop out thanks to its abnormal, mutant size.
Our new, perfectly sized passport is no longer the butt of all jokes. We can easily fit it in our pocket; show it to the customs officer with pride. Now is the time to fill it up with stamps from visa free countries.
Take your pick from a wide range of diverse destinations and fill that green passport with stamps from each country.
