Get a permanent Residency
through Investment

Global political, social and environmental systems are in a constant state of flux. Being a Citizen of any one country can often leave you prone to travel, residence and banking restrictions based on the rules-du-jour. Having a Second Citizenship allows you to legally overcome restrictions placed on your birth country through your Second Citizenship. Most Second Citizenship jurisdictions are impartial and neutral in the global political sphere and as a consequence afford their Citizens right of movement at all times. Social upheaval and environmental disasters often occur without warning and having a Second Citizenship in such times offers safe harbors.

Yes, it is legal to do so in the interest of protecting your wealth and assets, however, you must fulfill any current obligations to your country of current Citizenship before you move your wealth. The United States of America and Eritrea tax their Citizens globally, which means that even if you do obtain Second Citizenship as an American or an Eritrean, you are liable to pay taxes in your home country. For all other nationalities, tax implications are based on their tax residency.

A Golden visa in Portugal or Greece allows you freedom of movement through the Schengen Zone area. However, in order to avail the Visa Free or Visa on Arrival services afforded by the passports of these countries, you must become Citizens of these countries through their specific Naturalization processes.

No, you do not need to be a High Net Worth individual in order to qualify for Residency by investment, though certain European Golden Visa programs require a minimum net worth in order to be eligible.

All Residency by investment (Golden Visa) programs allow for main applicants to apply along with their families. Details for each program can be found under Residency by Investment.

The general rule of thumb is that you should not have been rejected for a visa. However, a visa rejection is not the end of the world. If you are able to apply for the specific region where you have had a visa rejection and get another visa before you apply for your residency, your application will not be rejected.

All countries reserve the right to approve or restrict other nationalities from applying for their respective Golden Visa programs. You can find more details about individual programs under Residency by Investment.
