The investor can purchase one property or more with a minimum investment of US$300,000. The investor can pay the amount in installments over the course of a year.

Company Establishment Option
An investor may choose to establish a new company in Egypt or invest in a previously established company in Egypt. This option requires a new minimum investment of US$350,000. In addition, applicants qualifying through this route must make a US$100,000 donation to the state.

Donation Option
The investor is required to make a non-refundable contribution to the CIU account in the Central Bank of Egypt, with US$250,000. Applicants can pay this amount in installments over the course of one year, receiving the citizenship only once they pay the full amount.

If the investor wishes, he may also apply using the Central Bank of Egypt deposit investment program. This program requires the applicant to make one of the following bank deposits:

Bank Deposit Option
The investor must make a deposit of US$500,000, refundable after 3 years with no accrued interest, in the Egyptian local currency, without interest.
