What investment option or options qualify?

An investor who is serious in implementing their investment project in Egypt is entitled under the new rules to residence. GAFI's Board rules grant residence according to the company's purpose, capital, number of workers and activity location, giving greater incentives to serious investments and favouring investment in sectors, activities and locations targeted by the State.

How long must the investment be maintained and what continuing ownership, investment or physical-presence conditions are important?

The residence is tied to the investor being serious in implementing the investment project: it is for five continuous years and renewed for similar periods throughout the project's duration. The official source does not state a minimum holding period, ownership percentage or physical-presence requirement.
