Residency Investment Programs (Golden Visa Programs)

Residence by Investment is a process by which investors and families can acquire a long-term permanent resident status of a country by making the necessary investment. It allows the PR card holder to legally reside in the host country without being a citizen. However, in some cases it can also lead to citizenship by naturalization once the resident has lived in that country for a certain number of years.
