Employment Document Package
Employment Document Package
Obtaining a work permit through the Egyptian Ministry of Manpower requires a thorough set of attested employment documents that demonstrate the applicant's qualifications and the legitimacy of the employment arrangement. The Ministry applies rigorous verification standards and cross-references submitted documents against employer records, professional licensing databases, and educational institution registries. An incomplete or improperly attested document package is the leading cause of work permit delays and rejections.
Egypt's employment documentation requirements vary by profession, nationality, and the specific governorate where the work will be performed. The Ministry of Manpower's Labour Office expects to see attested educational degrees that demonstrate qualification for the stated role, experience certificates that establish a verifiable employment history, and a signed employment contract that complies with Egyptian labour law provisions regarding salary, duration, benefits, and termination terms. For technical and specialized roles, additional professional certifications or licensing evidence may be required.
GreenAttest's employment document package delivers a fully managed attestation workflow that produces a Ministry-ready submission file. We begin with a comprehensive audit of your documents against current Ministry of Manpower requirements, identify any gaps or formatting issues, and then process each document through the complete attestation chain from notarization through UAE MOFA and Egyptian Embassy endorsement. GreenAttest compiles the final package in the order and format the Ministry expects, minimizing the risk of processing queries or return requests. Our team has processed employment attestation packages across a wide range of industries and professions for both Egyptian and multinational employers.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Obtain experience letters on official company letterhead with contact details and the signatory's position clearly stated, as the Ministry of Manpower may verify the letters directly.
- Start the attestation process well before your planned employment start date, as Ministry processing adds additional time beyond the attestation stage.
- Ask your Egyptian employer to confirm the specific Labour Office that will process your application, as requirements can vary between governorates.
