Application Guide for 2024

The SHMFF has extended the deadline for purchasing the terms and conditions booklet and submitting booking deposits until Tuesday, December 31, 2024, instead of December 24, 2024.

Expanded Postal Network

Mai Abdel Hamid, CEO of SHMFF, confirmed an agreement with Dalia Al-Baz, Chairperson of Egypt Post, to increase the number of automated post offices selling the booklets to 590 nationwide. This step aims to reduce crowding and simplify the process for applicants. Detailed office addresses can be accessed via this link.

Online Submission

Abdel Hamid emphasized that the submission process is based on a predefined priority system rather than the timing of booklet purchase. Applicants must upload their complete documents on the SHMFF’s official website: https://shmff.gov.eg/.
