Does Egypt have a digital nomad visa?
No — Egypt does not run a dedicated digital-nomad visa. Long-term stays generally go through a retirement or passive-income route, and the route is a moderate lift for a typical non-citizen mover.
The detail that matters: No formal DNV (5yr visa proposed, not live); retiree route age 60+. PR after 5yrs, naturalization 10yrs. Top PIT ~27.5%.
Tax for foreign residents in Egypt
For a foreign earner, Egypt's income is treated moderately. The country taxes residents on worldwide income once you cross the residency threshold, with a headline top personal rate around 28%. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own situation with a cross-border professional before you move.
From visa to permanent residency
If you're thinking past a year or two, check whether the stay builds toward settlement: in Egypt, permanent residency is reachable after about 5 years of residence. Naturalization typically comes after roughly 10 years. Immigration rules change often, so treat these as directional and verify the current policy with official sources.
Healthcare and insurance
Healthcare access for a foreigner in Egypt is reasonably accessible. A mid-tier private health plan runs roughly $125 a month — most long-stay visas require proof of cover.
