Hi Dawn I had to get a multi entry visa and residents visa to get the POA for my lawyer. I got mine at El Tor purely because we where out there at the time and it is cheaper than doing it in the UK. There are details of how to do this in the Sierra thread as a couple of people have recently got all their paperwork in London. The multi entry visa lasts 6m and the residents visa lasts for 12m. Now I have got the POA there is no need for me to renew them unless I wont to. I can still use my apartment without them as in Sharm you do not need a visa if you do not travel outside Sinai unlike resorts such as Hurghada. Check out Zeiads Legal thread as to where you stand with POA etc as Sharm differs from Hurghada as we are lease and not freehold.
Regards
Alison
