Namibia welcomes investors, but it does not run a packaged residence by investment scheme. Residence for investors is handled through standard permit categories. This page explains how that works for Egyptian nationals and points to the official source.
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.
There is no rule that excludes Egyptian citizens from applying for a Namibian permit. Investors of most nationalities can apply on the same basis if they meet the requirements of the relevant permit category.
It is important to be clear about what exists. Namibia does not have a dedicated residence by investment programme with a set buy in figure. Investors instead use the standard business and employment permit categories, which are assessed case by case. Confirm the category that fits your plan with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security.
The usual route for an investor is a business or employment permit tied to a Namibian registered company, supported by a viable business plan, evidence of capital and a contribution to the local economy such as job creation. These permits are typically renewable and let the holder run the business they invested in.
Permanent residence is a separate status that generally follows a qualifying period of lawful residence and is assessed on its own criteria. Because there is no fixed programme price, you should confirm the current capital, business and document requirements directly with the authority rather than rely on figures quoted by third parties.
Processing of a complete permit application is commonly described as taking a few months, but times vary with the category, the business case and document completeness. Confirm the current timeline with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Immigration, Safety and Security.
Because there is no packaged programme, the cost picture is built from the actual business investment, company registration, government permit fees, and professional, accounting and legal support. We do not publish a single buy in figure here, because Namibia does not set one for a residence by investment scheme. Confirm the current permit fees and any capital expectations with the authority.
