Egypt Citizenship by Investment Program
The hub of the Arab world; rapidly acquire a major nation's passport for as low as $250,000 USD.
The Egypt Citizenship by Investment program is a dark horse in the passport market in recent years, offering a unique way to establish a powerful business foothold in North Africa and the Middle East. As the most populous and influential country in the Arab world, the Egyptian passport not only provides visa-free access to many Asian and African countries but also offers a fast track to the US E-2 treaty visa.

Tax Planning & Wealth Management

For specific tax plans, please consult our senior tax compliance experts for a 1-on-1 assessment.
Children's Education & Springboard to Elite Schools
Obtaining an overseas long-term residency or passport is a "golden key" to opening the doors of the world's top universities for your children. Not only can they enjoy local free public education or cost-effective international schools, but they can also return to China as "Overseas Chinese Students" or "International Students," using that advantage to gain admission to China's top higher education institutions with lower scores.

Choose a suitable investment mode, complete document translation, notarization, and apostille.
Submit Initial Application Fee
Pay a non-refundable $10,000 USD processing fee to the government to officially launch the official background check.
AIP & Complete Investment (3-6 months)
After passing the background check, receive Approval in Principle and complete the donation or real estate balance payment as required.
Travel to Cairo to Collect Passport
The main applicant travels to Egypt to take the oath and collect the passport and national ID card, officially becoming a citizen.
How long does the entire application cycle usually take?
Processing times vary greatly depending on the country and visa category. Generally, real estate investment immigration can be approved within a few months, while programs involving complex background checks or waiting lists might take 1-2 years. For specific timelines, please refer to the latest processing schedules from the local immigration office.
Are the requirements for explaining the source of funds strict?
For investment immigration programs, the vast majority of countries require applicants to prove the legal source of their investment funds. However, the strictness of documentary requirements varies by country. Our legal team will assist you in issuing the most logical source of funds explanation plan.
Which family members can the main applicant bring?
Most countries' residency or citizenship programs allow "one person applies, the whole family immigrates." This generally includes the main applicant's spouse and children under 18 (or under 21/25 if studying and financially dependent). Some countries even allow including both sets of parents.
Real Client Approvals & Timelines
The client wanted a second passport route with clear capital deployment. We compared donation and real-estate options, then prepared source-of-funds evidence before citizenship filing.
A family with children in Cairo needed long-term stability first. We used a property-backed residence path and kept later citizenship planning separate.
