Egypt Citizenship by Investment

Yes. Egyptian nationality law allows withdrawal of citizenship obtained through fraud or false statements within ten years of acquisition. It also provides separate grounds for withdrawal and forfeiture, so the ten-year fraud limit does not mean citizenship becomes immune from revocation afterward. Depending on the legal provision used, withdrawal can extend to family members through a separate decree. The effect on your family therefore depends on the grounds and the decision made in the individual case.

Yes. Under Egypt’s nationality law as amended in 2004, children can acquire citizenship through an Egyptian mother or father. There is no fixed generational cap on this parent-to-child transmission, including for births abroad. Each generation must have a qualifying Egyptian parent at birth, with the necessary birth and parentage documentation completed.

The Egyptian government’s citizenship-by-investment FAQ states that children acquiring citizenship through naturalization are not required to perform military service. This answer concerns children naturalized through the program. Children born Egyptian after a parent obtains citizenship should have their military status assessed separately, including any exemption available through dual nationality.
