Egypt grants citizenship to foreign investors through several routes set in law. This page outlines how the programme is structured for Bangladeshi applicants and where to confirm every figure.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
The Egypt programme is open to foreign nationals generally and does not publish a nationality bar against Bangladeshi applicants. The main applicant must be at least 18, pass due diligence and show a lawful source of funds.
There is no requirement to live in Egypt and no language test. Confirm with the authority that no current restriction applies to your case before you commit.
Reported routes include a contribution to the public treasury, a property investment held for a set period, an investment into a local business with an added treasury contribution, and a bank deposit returned without interest after a set term.
A spouse and children under a set age can usually be included. Each route carries a separate government fee per application.
Published processing is reported at around six months once a complete file is submitted, though this varies. Confirm the current timeline with the authority.
The qualifying amount depends on the route you choose. Use the indicative table below as a starting point and confirm every figure with the official authority before acting.
