Citizenship and Residency
All investor immigration programs are divided into two blocks: Citizenship by Investment and Residency by Investment. We discuss the differences between Citizenship and Residency programs and the benefits of each.
Citizenship by Investment:
Citizenship by investment programs allow foreign investors to receive legal second citizenship by investing in the economy of its country.
Residence by Investment:
Residence by investment is a process of foreign citizens receiving a residence by investment in return for investment into the economy of the chosen country. Initially, you receive a temporary residence permit, and in a few years, a permanent residence permit. Most permanent residence permits allow to subsequently apply for citizenship if the relevant requirements have been adhered to.
