Which family relationships qualify?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm which family relationships qualify.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Searched the GAFI guide section on bringing a dependant (25dcd1eb4e5e3fab.txt): it names a sponsor and a dependant but lists no qualifying family relationships.

Who may sponsor or bring the family member, and what immigration/citizenship status must that person hold?

The company files the request, stating the sponsor's name, nationality and capacity and the dependant's name and nationality. To bring one dependant, the company's issued capital must be USD 1 million (or the Egyptian-pound equivalent) at incorporation or capital increase, or it must have 50 Egyptian workers on social-insurance Form 2; for two dependants, USD 3 million or 150 Egyptian workers. The official source does not state what residence status or nationality the sponsor must hold.

Limits of the record
  • Searched 25dcd1eb4e5e3fab.txt for marriage, birth or other relationship documents: the dependant section asks only for passport copies of sponsor and dependant; no relationship proof is listed.

What important financial, accommodation, insurance or maintenance responsibilities apply?

The sponsor signs a declaration accepting responsibility for the dependant, with the signature certified by a bank. The official source states no income amount, accommodation or health-insurance requirement.

Limits of the record
  • No income amount, accommodation or health-insurance requirement is stated.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

The company files the request with GAFI, and PDF copies of the documents are sent to GAFI by email or WhatsApp; GAFI may request additional documents case by case. The official source does not state the rights the family member receives, how long the status lasts or any path to independent or longer-term residence.
