We have also been advising clients on their citizenship by investment in the EU Member States as well as non EU countries.
EU citizenship by Investment, also known as “Golden Visa” is an immigration program that grants investors and their dependant family members residence permits in the country they have invested. A “Golden Visa” allows the investors and their dependant family members to live, work and study in the country, however they are not required to live full time in the country they have invested.
The EU member States that issue Golden Visas that tied to investment programs are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. Each member state has slightly different investment programs. Golden Visas can be renewed continuously as long as you maintain your investment or until you become eligible for permanent residency (PR). You don’t have to live in the country you invest to keep renewing your residence permit. Non-EU Countries for citizenship by investment that are St Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica Republic and Turkey.
