Golden Visa Residency in Europe

Several European countries offer Golden Visa programs, granting residency to Americans who make a qualifying investment. Qualfiying investments typically start around €250,000.
 
Here are some examples of qualifying investments:
 
  • Invest €250,000 in an Italian innovative startup
  • Purchase €2 million in Italian government bonds
  • Purchase €500,000 in shares of a Portuguese company
  • Invest €2 million in an Irish Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)
 
Many countries do not require Golden Visa holders to live in the country full-time, offering investors a high degree of flexibility.
 
If you want to play an active role in running a business, you may qualify for an entrepreneur visa, which typically requires a significantly lower investment.
 
After five years, you are eligible for long-term residency or citizenship in many countries. Golden Visas are a proven pathway to obtaining citizenship and growing your passport portfolio.
