News of the real estate market in Egypt

The most significant news in the real estate market in Egypt was the announcement of the complete abolition of restrictions on the ownership of real estate by foreigners. According to the authorities, in the near future, foreigners will be able to own any number of properties, and these properties can be in the same city. Now foreigners can own no more than two properties in Egypt, and both of them must be in different cities. 

Thus the authorities hope to reduce inflation and relieve pressure on commodity prices. 

Egypt, following European countries, is trying to attract highly qualified specialists for permanent residence, those who open a startup company in the country are promised a residence permit for a year. 

Plus, Egypt announced multiple-entry visas, which will be valid for 5 years. Thus, the country is trying to develop tourism amid competition with other seaside countries. Such a visa will cost about $700.
