What is Residency by Investment?

Residency by investment allows foreign nationals to obtain a residency permit in exchange for making an approved investment in the host country. This legal status grants the right to live, and in many cases, work and study in the destination country. Over time, many of these programmes offer a pathway to full citizenship.

Unlike conventional immigration routes, residency by investment programmes are designed for high-net-worth individuals seeking greater freedom, enhanced lifestyle options, and long-term security for their families.

Why Choose Residency by Investment?

Residency by investment programmes offer individuals and families a smart and flexible pathway to international relocation, unlocking a multitude of lifestyle, mobility, and wealth planning benefits:

Access to the Schengen Zone

Travel freely across 26 European countries without the need for a visa

Pathway to Citizenship

Many residency routes offer full citizenship after a defined period, often 5 years

Education & Healthcare

Access to world-class education systems and public/private healthcare networks

Business & Lifestyle Opportunities

Reside, invest, and operate a business in your chosen country
