Residence and citizenship by investment refers to government-approved programs that allow eligible individuals to obtain residence rights or citizenship through a qualifying investment.
A Golden Visa is a common term for a residence by investment program. It usually allows eligible investors and their families to obtain residence rights through real estate, funds, business investment, or other approved routes.
Minimum investments vary by country and program. Some citizenship routes may begin from approximately USD 90,000, while many residence routes begin from approximately EUR 200,000. Additional government, legal, processing, and due diligence fees usually apply.
Many programs allow family members to be included, such as a spouse, children, dependent adult children, parents, or grandparents. The exact rules depend on the program.
It depends on the route. Some programs involve non-refundable contributions. Others involve recoverable investments such as real estate, funds, bonds, or business investments, subject to holding periods, market risk, and program rules.
Timelines vary by program and applicant profile. Some programs may be completed in several months, while others can take longer due to documentation, due diligence, government processing, or appointment availability.
No. Residence by investment provides the right to live in a country, usually through a residence permit or permanent residence status. Citizenship by investment provides citizenship and may allow the applicant to apply for a passport after approval.
There is no single “best” program. The right option depends on your goals, nationality, family structure, budget, preferred timeline, investment type, and long-term plans.
In some countries, residence by investment can lead to citizenship after several years, provided the applicant meets naturalization requirements. These may include physical presence, language, integration, tax residence, or other legal criteria.
Some programs have minimal physical presence requirements, while others require applicants to visit, reside, or meet stay requirements to maintain status or qualify for future citizenship.
No. All applications are subject to government review, due diligence, eligibility checks, and final approval. No advisor can guarantee approval.
