Several residency-by-investment programs in Europe offer residency through real estate investment without requiring applicants to relocate. Commonly known as golden visas or investor visas, these programs are particularly appealing to investors who prefer not to emigrate immediately but value the flexibility to reside if needed. They often include the added benefit of travel freedom across the EU Schengen zone. Over time, if the investor and their family opt for permanent residency, they may become eligible to apply for citizenship in the respective country.

Others, such as Malta, require government donations in exchange for residency.
Each country has its own application requirements beyond the main investment, which investors must meet. Our expert team is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you understand and provide the necessary documentation.
