Choosing the wrong target language is one of the most common reasons files get returned. Here is a quick guide to what applicants from Egypt usually need:
| Destination | Language usually required | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | German (English often accepted for visa files) | Recognition (Anerkennung), Ausbildung and university admissions usually require German. |
| Italy | Italian | Translations are commonly legalized (Ministry of Foreign Affairs + Consulate) for study and residency. |
| France | French or English | Campus France and long-stay files often prefer French. |
| Spain | Spanish | Some procedures require a sworn translation (traductor jurado). |
| Other Schengen countries | English, in most cases | Netherlands, Austria, Greece and others generally accept certified English. |
| USA · UK · Ireland · Australia | English | Full, word-for-word translation with a translator's certification statement. |
| Canada | English or French | IRCC files need the translation plus a copy of the original. |
| Gulf countries (UAE, KSA, Kuwait, Qatar) | Arabic or English | Foreign-language documents are often translated into Arabic for ministries and courts. |
| China | Chinese or English | Business contracts and company documents are best done in Chinese. |
| Türkiye | Turkish | Residency and university files typically need Turkish, sometimes with notarization. |
Requirements change and vary by case. Always check the latest checklist of the embassy, visa centre (VFS, TLScontact, BLS) or university — or send us the checklist and we'll tell you exactly what you need.
