Egypt residency through marriage and for families

Issuing and renewing Egyptian residence permits for the foreign spouse of an Egyptian and for families of foreign residents, in the type that fits your situation.

What this involves

Marriage can be the basis for a residence permit, with specific conditions and papers. Families of foreign investors and residents can also hold annual residence permits. We review your situation, suggest the right type of residence, and handle issuing and renewing it for you and your family.

This is for you if

• You are the foreign spouse of an Egyptian citizen
• Your family needs to live with you in Egypt as a foreign resident or investor
• Your current residence permit is about to expire

Papers usually requested

• Valid passport
• Registered marriage contract, for residence based on marriage
• National ID of the Egyptian spouse, where relevant
