Residency by Investment

Portugal's D7 visa allows applicants with sufficient passive income — from pensions, rental income, or remote work — to establish full legal residency. Combined with the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) tax regime, it is one of Europe's most attractive residency options.

Greece's investor residency programme is one of the most flexible in Europe, with no obligation to reside in the country. It grants Schengen travel rights and can be renewed every five years provided the investment is maintained.

Spain offers two popular residency routes: the investor visa (golden visa equivalent) for capital-based applicants, and the non-lucrative visa for those with sufficient income who wish to retire or live in Spain without working locally.

The UAE's long-term residency programme offers 10-year renewable visas for investors, entrepreneurs, and specialised professionals. It is particularly attractive for individuals seeking a tax-efficient base without needing to physically reside there full-time.

Panama's Friendly Nations programme offers residency to nationals of qualifying countries through economic ties or investment. It is one of the most cost-accessible residency pathways in the Americas.

Latvia provides an accessible EU residency route through relatively low-threshold investment options. It is popular with applicants seeking Schengen access who do not require an immediate pathway to citizenship.
