GAFI
Do labour law and social insurance cover a foreign representative office's staff in Egypt? Yes, foreigners too, on conditions; GAFI recommends permits; staff returns are periodic.
How is a foreign representative office registered in Egypt? A GAFI filing, legalised papers, a bank certificate, fees and a three-year undertaking; insurers have their own regime.

Should a foreign investor open a branch or a representative office in Egypt? A branch trades and is taxed on profits; an office may only study the market.
How much tax relief does Egypt's Investment Law grant, and what fee do free zone projects pay instead of tax? The rates, caps and exclusions, read from the law itself.
What separates limited from unlimited liability, and how much capital does each Egyptian company form need? Six forms compared by founders, liability and minimum capital.
