What to expect as an expatriate in Egypt?
Egypt offers a unique blend of historic charm and modern life. You can marvel at the ancient pyramids while enjoying the vibrant life in cities like Cairo. The cost of living is potentially lower than in Germany, especially for rent and groceries. However, you should have realistic expectations. It's important to have sufficient financial resources to bridge the first few months without income. Language skills are also crucial: Arabic or at least English is necessary to navigate daily life. Egyptian bureaucracy can be challenging, particularly in obtaining work permits and business licenses. For more information on the requirements for emigrating to Egypt, you can find details here.
Why are people drawn to Egypt?
Many people are drawn to Egypt due to the warm climate and affordable cost of living. The country is particularly attractive for retirees who wish to spend their golden years in the sun. The living costs are relatively low, especially if you live outside the tourist centers. In Cairo, for example, you can manage with about 400 USD per month without rent. Egypt also offers interesting investment opportunities, particularly in the nine free zones with tax advantages. Another option is acquiring Egyptian citizenship through investments. The Website Visit World provides detailed information on the various investment opportunities.
Financial Planning: How to Secure Your Standard of Living
Careful financial planning is essential for a successful move to Egypt. At GoMovin, we help you keep track of your finances and make the right decisions. Here are some important aspects to consider:
Calculate Your Living Expenses
It is important to realistically assess the cost of living in Egypt. Rent for an apartment in Cairo starts at about 200 USD per month, but can vary depending on the location and amenities. You should also take into account the cost of food, transport, and leisure activities. Private health insurance is advisable, as the public health system in Egypt does not compare to the German standard. Find information on living costs and the healthcare system at Dachser-Kolb. We are happy to help you choose the right insurance.
German Pension in Egypt: What You Need to Know
If you want to emigrate to Egypt as a pensioner, you can generally continue to receive your German pension. However, you must report the transfer of the pension to the German Pension Insurance. To apply for a residence permit, you will need proof of a regular income. We are happy to advise you on all matters regarding your pension abroad and assist you with the necessary formalities.
Visa and Residence Permit
As an EU citizen, you need a visa to enter Egypt. For longer stays, a residence permit is required. You can obtain this if you can show an employment contract or prove a regular income.
