He would need to prove that he has some business interest outside Egypt to be able to go. Something he can't get in Egypt, either technology or information or something else. He will need to prove that he has strong enough ties to return to Egypt, and most likely they will ask him to have $10k in the bank. If he is not married and he is in his 30's or so, my guess is that he will be denied.
Best of luck to you.

ok thanks for the advice my friend who was telling me about this sort of visa said that if he tells the embassy he is thinking about expanding his own business in england then that would be easier

He would need to have correspondece from several compnaies in the UK expressing an interest in his business and expressing a wish to meet him. These would have to be legitimate and the comapnies concerned would have to back up his story. these companies would have to be proper registered beitish companies VAT registration at the minimum
He would have to have proof of his business in Egypt invoices, trade directories, business accounts, company registration.

This is true melbev.. why do not you just hop in a plane and go to him in Egypt!!! what is the big deal that he has to come to UK!!! and yes it is hard for Egyptians to visit your country as the UK would like to protect its citzens from those who are using the british women and would like to come to UK.. by the way why does not he look for all the rquired papers and check all ideas!!! why I feel it is you who are doing all the work for him!!! well sure he is really using you and dominating you.

Because the Embassy don't believe that they will come back from their trip abroad where as the Egyptian embassy do believe that a British tourist will go back at the end of their holiday and if they stay they will be contributing to the economy not applying for Social Security.
You have said that getting a visa is just part of a plan for him to stay in the Uk and the British Embassy will realise this. Your case has to be genuine. That is how my husband got his visa. He told the truth and they believed him.
They can spot a lie at a thousand paces and if you have already made an application and it has be turned down they cross check the applications. My husband had been turned down previous but when they cross checked they found he said the same things then as now but a lot more had happened to him and there was extra information. But most importantly nothing he said before had changed. He didnt suddenly change from being a student to being a business man.

Look at the reasons that the Embassy rejected his application and address those.
Obviously the embassy didin't believe him when he said he didn't want to stay in the UK. This is something to note. After all they see thousands of Egyptians and are experienced in judging them. They did not beleive him, why not? What was there in his application that made them think that.
Don't try and get round them, conive and trick. they have seen it all before and it will just back fire on you.
When you make an application, make it truthful and be realistic

You are right it is good to get it sorted out before hand so you don't get refused. I would spend a lot of time on the website study the advise to sponsors and putting together an application. when we applied the second time it took me 2 years to persuade him to try again and I spent that time reading a researching as much as I could.
He should also contact fellow business men that have been there and ask what they provided

I absolutely agree with South, just let him does that and not let him just waits and sits down nicely like a little baby.

I was asked for advice about a visa not about the marriage.
Unless the man can earn GOOD money in the West I don't think the marriage can survive. IMHO the woman should always go to Egypt. but what do I know I only married one Arab for 12 years until he died and have been happily married to another Arab and living in Egypt for over 4 years. Women that haven't had that experience know lots more that me
NOT

I am asking why bother with a visa when she can go live with him in his country. It sounds like the process will be difficult so the easy answer is go to him.
Then I wondered how many marriages would be successful if he did go to her country.
I have been informed by another poster that you are the second wife.
Polyogomy maybe helps in Egypt then!
You give good advise.

I don't want to go off topic and wanted to send you a PM but you have not activated that on your profile.
If there is a large age gap and this precludes the woman from having children then polygamy definitely helps. I dearly love my step children and my co-wife is a darling. I prefer the term co-wife because we are not no1 and no2 which implies a pecking order but complimentary halves. I can not give my husband what she can and she can not give him what I can. There is no jealously between us but just happiness that the man we both dearly love has a fulfilled and successful life because of us BOTH
