Portugal Golden Visa (Investment Fund)
In 2012, the Portuguese Government changed the Immigration Law (Lei de Imigração 29/2012), allowing the grant of a temporary European Residency Authorization, up to 5 years, for citizens from outside the European Union, in exchange for investments in the country. These regulations offer a simple way for investors from outside the EU to get a Residency Authorization for five years (currently designated as “Golden Visa”).

Egypt Citizenship
by Investment
Egypt Citizenship by Investment
Investors only need to deposit $500,000 in the Central Bank of Egypt for 3 years to obtain an Egyptian passport as a major country. The deposit can be withdrawn after 3 years, and the passport status will be retained. The Egyptian passport program features low net cost, low risk, and low threshold. It eliminates the need for complicated overseas account opening or fund transfers under the applicant’s name, accepting transfers from corporate accounts instead. With approval granted before investment, applicants can obtain a major country passport in one step with zero cost in as little as 6 months.
After obtaining the passport, applicants can open accounts, settle down, and travel freely across Africa. This program stands as the only legal citizenship-by-investment plan in Africa.
