Golden Visa Investments
Most countries in the world offer some sort of residency by investment program in which foreign investors can acquire residency in exchange for investing in the country. However, these programs come in many shapes and sizes.
Golden Visa programs are government-run investor programs in which foreign nationals can acquire residency in the country in exchange for a passive investment into the country. (eg: Golden Visa Real Estate)
The type of investment can take many forms. Qualifying investments range from bank deposits into a local national bank to investments into government bonds and even non-refundable contributions that go towards building or enhancing local infrastructure. However, the two most popular options are investments into real estate and investments into man investment funds.
In this page we explore the world’s most popular golden visa programs and share with you a sample of our portfolio of Golden Visa Real Estate investment and golden visa investment fund opportunities as well as some additional investment golden visa investment opportunities.
Golden Visa Countries 2024 Golden Visa Real Estate
Investing into bricks and mortar has long been considered one of the safest ways to preserve wealth and is still the most popular form of passive investment option for high net worth individuals looking to diversify their international investment portfolios and steadily grow their capital.
Traditionally, passive investor programs like Citizenship By Investment programs and Golden Visa programs have been hugely popular given their flexible nature and over the past decade countries like Portugal, Spain and Greece have raised billions of investment into local real estate through their Golden Visa programs.
However, the game is changing. Increasing housing prices have led to many governments changing their tune. Portugal for example removed its popular real estate investment option last year, Spain is considering doing the same, while Greece increased their pricing in September. Many countries are now phasing out their ‘passive investor programs’ and instead are favouring active residency programs such as start up and entrepreneurship visas.
While it is hard to predict the longevity of these programs, they still exist and the next couple of years may pose the last the chance to get your hands on some ‘Golden Visa Real Estate’ in Europe.
Outside of Europe, there are many opportunities also. Noteably, the United Arab Emirates with it’s booming Real estate market and popular golden visa program. Other destinations such as Brazil and Mexico are seeing significant growth and proving popular investment destinations for those looking to diversify their real estate portfolio and acquire a second residency in the process.
