One-year renewable residence permit issued by Egypt's Ministry of Interior through GAFI for foreign nationals investing in a company, real estate, or bank deposit.
Egypt's Investor Residence Permit (1-Year) is the umbrella residency issued by the Ministry of Interior's Passport Office at GAFI under Investment Law No. 72 of 2017. It legalises an investor's stay while they incorporate or operate a project, and is renewable for six-month or one-year periods through GAFI for as long as the investment remains active.
The permit is issued no less than five working days after submission, once the applicant has a Ministry of Manpower work licence and has cleared a security review. First-degree family members can be included, and the permit is annotated in the investor's passport.
This visa is ideal for foreign nationals incorporating a company through GAFI, acquiring qualifying real estate, or making a fresh-money bank deposit who need a flexible, renewable residency tied to active investment.
