This page explains how Egypt citizenship by investment is presented for Turkish nationals, the qualifying routes, and where to confirm the current rules.
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.
Egypt grants citizenship for investment under Law number 190 of 2019, administered through the unit at the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones. The route is open in principle to foreign applicants, and there is no published exclusion specific to Turkish nationals.
Applicants are expected to be in good health, to hold a clear criminal record, and to transfer funds from abroad in foreign currency. Confirm that your case meets the current standard with the official authority before you commit.
Public guidance describes several pathways. These include a direct contribution to the state treasury that is not refundable, a real estate purchase, a business investment paired with a contribution, and a refundable bank deposit held for a set period.
The figures attached to each route change over time, so use them only as a guide and verify the current amounts with the authority. Do not rely on a route or a figure until the official source confirms it applies to you.
Public guidance points to a processing window of roughly six to twelve months, though timing varies with the route and the completeness of the file. Treat any timeline as indicative and confirm it with the official authority.
The qualifying investment or contribution is the main figure, with government and processing costs on top. Several routes are reported in public guidance. Use the table as an indicative guide only and confirm every figure with the official source before you act.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Treasury contribution | USD 250,000 | Reported as not refundable |
| Real estate purchase | USD 300,000 | Reported minimum, confirm current rule |
| Refundable bank deposit | USD 500,000 | Reported held for three years, returned without interest |
