Egypt is a sovereign state in northeast Africa that includes the Sinai Peninsula, forming a bridge to Asia. Famous for its ancient civilization and pyramids, Egypt is a significant political and cultural nation in the Middle East as well as one of the most important seaports in the world.
In March 2020, Egypt’s government published a new citizenship law (established in 2019) enabling foreign investors to make a financial contribution and thereby gain eligibility for citizenship. The government has established a specialized citizenship by investment unit to oversee the program, which is designed to attract foreign direct investment.
To qualify for citizenship, applicants must choose one of the following investment options:
Applicants must be in good health and have a clear police record. All investments must be in US dollars and transferred from abroad. Donations and bank deposits must be made into a special account of the Citizenship by Investment Unit at the Central Bank of Egypt treasury.
The Egypt Citizenship by Investment Program offers citizenship to individuals and their families through substantial investments in the country.
Investment options include a non-refundable contribution to the state’s public treasury, an investment in real estate from government-owned projects, an investment in a local business plus a donation to the state’s treasury, or a bank deposit refundable after three years without interest.
Benefits include the right to live, work, and study in Egypt, visa-free travel to certain countries, and access to a country with rich cultural heritage.
The minimum investment starts at USD 250,000 for a non-refundable contribution to the state’s public treasury.
