You can send a certified copy of your passport but everything else needs to be original. It's perfectly normal to send documents (including passports) overseas for visa applications. Use a courier if you are concerned about loosing them.

This is a general visit visa so what exactly are you providing? What level of support does he actually need from you other than to say he can stay with you? If he can't finance his own trip it's fine for you to pay for it but by doing so, and without any economic means of his own, it will be very difficult for him to be granted a visa (from Eqypt, in particular!)

oh ok brilliant thankyou this is going to sound really stupid but where can i get a certified copy of my passport? yea i am paying for the return flight but he will just be stayin at my home so no accomadation fees etc he has a permanent job there in egypt.
i was unsure of what information i would exactly have to submit so thought if i sent everything then there would be less chance of it being refused.
thankyou

Any High Street solicitor will make a certified copy of documents (passports, bank statements etc.)
