- Outcome
- Citizenship
- Minimum requirement
- $250k
- Processing time
- Typically 6–12 months for the main applicant; approximately 24 months in total for an included spouse due to the mandatory 2-year waiting period
- Physical presence
- Egypt's CBI programme has historically had no residency requirement. However, a February 2026 specialist source reports a new minimum two-day visit during the application stage, followed after approval by either one month-long visit or two visits totalling four weeks. Other 2026 sources still report no minimum stay, so the current physical-presence requirement remains unclear and should be confirmed with GAFI or a licensed agent. Passport renewal is generally available through Egyptian consulates abroad every 7 years.
