No right to work and no guaranteed path to PR

Residence Permit via Real Estate
Egypt

Three tiers depending on property value: from $50,000 — 1 year, from $100,000 — 3 years, from $200,000 — 5 years. Does NOT automatically grant the right to work and does NOT guarantee a path to permanent residency — these are separate, unlinked matters.

Three tiers — price rises with duration

The higher the property value, the longer the permit — a direct, easy-to-follow relationship.

A good fit if

You want an accessible entry point into legal Egyptian residency — from $50,000 for a 1-year permit.
You don’t need work rights immediately — residency and work are arranged separately.
You’re fine with a longer term (3 or 5 years) for a larger amount — up to $200,000.
Permanent residency isn’t an urgent goal — no direct path exists from this visa to it.

A poor fit if

You need to work in Egypt right away — this visa does NOT automatically grant work rights; a separate permit is required.
You’re counting on a guaranteed path to PR through this visa — sources explicitly state no automatic transition exists.
You need a path to citizenship — the site covers a separate citizenship-by-investment programme for that (from $300,000 in property or a $250,000 contribution).
Your capital is below $50,000 — no threshold exists below that even for the minimum 1-year term.

Frequent questions

Does this visa grant the right to work in Egypt?

No — per the available data, residency and the right to work are separate matters: the visa grants legal residence, not automatic work rights, which require a separate permit.

Does this visa lead to PR automatically?

No — sources explicitly state there is no guaranteed or automatic path from property-based temporary residency to permanent residency.

Does the threshold rise for a family application?

Sources don’t clarify this separately — the page describes the three base tiers by duration, tied to property value, not family size.

How does this differ from citizenship by investment?

This visa is residency only (from $50,000 to $200,000); a separate site programme covers citizenship by investment (from $300,000 in property or a $250,000 contribution under Law No.190/2019).

Is there another way to get Egyptian citizenship?

Per the available data — through standard naturalization after 10 consecutive years of "normal residence," alongside the citizenship-by-investment route.

Can the permit be renewed after it expires?

Per the available data, yes, while ownership of the qualifying property is maintained.
