You may qualify for residency by investment if you are a foreign national willing to make a qualifying financial contribution in your target country — typically through real estate acquisition, business investment, or government bonds. Most programs require a minimum investment ranging from $200,000 to over $1,000,000 depending on the destination. There are no language, education, or work experience requirements in most cases. Investors of all nationalities are eligible, and immediate family members including spouses and dependent children are generally included in the application.
