Compare residency by investment and Golden Visa options
Residency by investment programs allow qualifying applicants to obtain residence rights after making an approved investment. Depending on the country, the route may be based on property, investment funds, business activity, government securities, or a combination of qualifying capital and fees.
Residence is not the same as citizenship. Renewal rules, physical-presence requirements, work rights, family eligibility, and any future path to permanent residence or citizenship vary by jurisdiction. Investors should compare the legal status offered as carefully as the investment itself.
Qualifying investment
Assess the minimum capital, eligible assets, holding period, financing restrictions, and non-recoverable government costs.
Renewal and long-term status
Plan for renewal evidence, minimum-stay rules, permanent-residence eligibility, and any separate naturalization conditions.
