In 2020, the government of Egypt launched a citizenship by investment program to attract foreign investments and stimulate the economy. The first citizenship applications under the program were accepted in 2021.
Foreigners pick one of four investment options to get Egyptian passports: make a non-refundable contribution, purchase property, invest in a business, or open a deposit in the Central Bank of Egypt.
The minimal required investment is $250,000. It takes 6 to 12 months to obtain citizenship. Investors do not have to take exams on Arabic or Egypt history. In addition, there are no requirements to reside within the country to keep the passport.
Close family members can obtain citizenship along with the investor. The rule applies to spouses and children under 21.
