Is my friend from Egypt with a Schengen visa allowed to visit the UK?
Upvote:7
Having residency in a Schengen country does not allow entry to the UK. Entering the information from your question into the UK government's site to check whether a visa is required shows that your friend will need a UK visitor visa.

It is possible, though he will need a separate visa for the UK than the schengen visa. Its a well known problem for many non-EU people in the UK/I or mainland Europe that they can't easily go to the other one.
Since he is working in Germany, can prove he is settled there, etc... he shouldn't have any problems getting the visa. But he still has to go through the application process, which might be annoying.
