Golden Visas
Obtain residence in a European country by making a qualifying investment
Golden Visas
Obtain a second residency in a European country by making a qualifying investment. No minimum annual stay required.
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.
