Good afternoon, Lyudmila.
After receiving a travel visa at the airport for one month, it can be extended for another month. After that, you will need to fill out a questionnaire with a package of documents, which includes a lease in your name. Next, the service puts a visa waiting stamp on your passport. Documents pass through the authorities in Cairo for about 2.5 months. After that, they issue a visa and put it in your passport, but its beginning will be considered from the end date of the previous extension. Usually they give it for 3-4 months, it can be lucky up to six months, this is decided by the country's security service. After that, it can be extended in the same way, if allowed. If not, you will need to leave the country at least for one day and return with a new travel visa. And so again in order.
If you need details or any recommendations, tips, write to me.
Best regards, Natalia.
