Overview

The Egypt Investment Residence Permit (Bank Deposit) is a program designed for foreign nationals who wish to reside in Egypt by making a significant financial deposit in a state-owned bank. By depositing $50,000 or $100,000, applicants can secure a renewable residency permit for one or three years, respectively, provided the funds are transferred from abroad as fresh money.
