The Egypt Citizenship by Investment program has been in effect since 2020 under Law No. 190 of 2019. It offers investors the opportunity to obtain a second passport in approximately 10 to 12 months. Applicants are not required to reside in Egypt or pass Arabic language exams. To qualify, it is sufficient to prepare the necessary documents, meet the investment requirements, and contribute a minimum of USD 250,000 through one of four available options.
Egyptian citizenship can be obtained in just 10 months—much faster than the standard naturalization route, which typically requires 10 years of residency.
Applicants are not required to pass exams in Arabic language, history, or culture. There is also no obligation to reside in Egypt before or after obtaining citizenship.
Holders of an Egyptian passport are eligible to apply for the U.S. E-2 investor visa, which permits living and conducting business in the United States.
Spouses and children under 21 can be included in the application and receive Egyptian citizenship at the same time as the investor.
Egypt permits dual citizenship. Applicants can retain their original nationality, provided it is allowed by their home country.
An Egyptian passport grants visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to over 65 countries, including Malaysia and Hong Kong.
Citizenship facilitates the opening of accounts in local and international banks, with the option to operate in U.S. dollars, euros, and other major currencies.
Egypt offers nine free economic zones where registered companies enjoy income tax exemptions—an attractive feature for investors seeking tax optimization.
