Hi, I am an American doctoral student and am married to a Moroccan, who by training is an English teacher. I came to Egypt this past winter/spring to study Egyptian colloquial, to meet people for the research I am proposing, and to start to get to know ways of life in Egypt. We decided to return for a longer term stay -- for at least a couple years.

We are planning to come in September, and are both looking for work. I am looking for something part-time (consultancy or the like), and my husband for a teaching position.

At this point we need to make flight reservations and start taking care of visas. But I am not sure what kind of visas we want, if we have not already secured work contracts.

Does anyone have suggestions about visas?

Thanks
