Golden visas & citizenship by investment
Want a stronger passport or a second home base? Some countries grant residency — or even citizenship — in exchange for an investment. Here's how the main routes work, roughly what they cost, and how to get introduced to a licensed advisor who can actually handle it.
The main routes (indicative)
| Route | Type | From (indicative) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caribbean (St Kitts, Dominica, Grenada, Antigua, St Lucia) | Citizenship | ~US$200k donation | Fast; passport in months |
| Portugal Golden Visa | Residency → citizenship | ~€500k (funds) | Real-estate route curtailed; path to citizenship ~5 yrs |
| Greece | Residency | ~€250k–800k | Real-estate; renewable |
| UAE Golden Visa | Residency | Investment / talent | Long-term renewable residency |
| USA EB-5 | Residency (green card) | ~US$800k | Job-creation investment |
Indicative only. Programmes change constantly and some are being restricted or closed (for example, several EU routes are under pressure). Always confirm current rules and prices with an official, licensed source.
