What is residence by investment?
Residence by investment is a legal status that allows a foreign national to reside in a country by meeting the required investment conditions. Eligible grounds may include the purchase of real estate, investment in a business, an investment fund, government instruments, or another approved asset.
Which investments are most commonly used to obtain residence?
The most common qualifying options include real estate purchase, business investment, company registration, job creation, investment funds, or government bonds. The exact list of eligible investments depends on the legislation of the selected country.
Can residence by investment be obtained together with family members?
Yes. In many programs, the investor may include family members in the application. This usually includes a spouse and minor children, and in some cases financially dependent adult children and parents.
Is it necessary to live in the country permanently after obtaining residence?
Residence requirements depend on the specific program. In some countries, it is sufficient to maintain the investment and renew the status on time. In others, the applicant must spend a certain number of days in the country each year. If the applicant intends to apply for permanent residence or citizenship later, physical presence requirements are usually particularly important.
Does residence by investment grant the right to work and do business?
This depends on the type of status and the legislation of the country. In some jurisdictions, residence by investment allows the holder to conduct business, manage a company, or receive investment income. In other cases, the right to work may be restricted or require a separate permit.
Can residence by investment lead to citizenship?
In a number of countries, residence by investment may serve as the first step toward permanent residence or citizenship. However, investment alone usually does not guarantee citizenship. Naturalisation generally requires meeting additional conditions, such as residence in the country, maintaining legal status, compliance with the law, and fulfilment of tax obligations.
