Freelancing Legally In Egypt

Summary

A 17-year-old Sudanese student in Egypt wants to work legally as a freelancer. At 17, working with parental consent is possible, but the residency permit must allow employment. To amend a residency permit for work, visit the local immigration office, request amendment information, and prepare necessary documents like a self-declaration letter or business plan. For e-commerce, ensure residency permits business activities, register the business, and obtain a tax ID if earnings exceed the threshold. Parental consent and partnerships can help navigate age and permit restrictions.
