About Egyptian Citizenship by Investment Program

Your Gateway to Plan B

Since 2020, Egypt has been offering a citizenship by investment program. Investors can choose from several options: purchasing real estate, making a non-refundable contribution to the Citizenship Program Department account at the Central Bank of Egypt, or placing a deposit.

It takes 9 months to obtain a passport, and you don’t need to visit Egypt or move to the country. An Egyptian passport is a reliable plan B in case of geopolitical upheavals, providing access to Middle Eastern markets, the ability to save and increase capital, and eligibility for an E-2 business visa for an expedited move to the United States.
