Residency
by Investment Programs
Individuals with exceptional skills and expertise often view residency by investment programmes as a chance for growth. These programmes typically involve an investment and help countries attract foreign direct investment (FDI). Investors gain easy access to infrastructure and new markets while also enjoying the right to live work and potentially become citizens of the host country.
European countries are renowned for their residence programmes designed to attract investment from non-EU investors. EU residents hold the privilege of Schengen visa-free travel. Some top EU residency by investment options include Malta, Greece, Latvia, Hungary and Portugal’s Golden Visa. The Gulf region offers its own Golden Visa programmes, including those for Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
