FASTEST WAYS TO SECURE EU RESIDENCY
From sun soaked beaches, to frosty mountain tops and bustling cities, Europe offers a truly versatile living experience. Whatever you’re looking for, in whatever language you want to speak, you will find it in Europe. Europe has for centuries been an attractive destination for immigrants and the stability, opportunity and prosperity offered by the EU means that this trend will continue.
You may want to consider investing it in an opportunity where, as well as a great return, you can also receive EU residency and citizenship. Various countries on the continent have programs that allow foreign citizens to simply invest their way to residency.
European countries offer different opportunities based on their economic situations and real estate markets. Below are some of the most popular opportunities for residency by investment.
1. Malta:
Low tax rates (permanent residents pay just 15 per cent) and a sunny climate make Malta an attractive destination for those seeking EU citizenship. Buying a €275,000 property is, apparently, enough to get your foot in the door.
2. Greece:
The Greece Golden Visa program grants residence permits to third country nationals and to the members of their families if they invest more than €250,000 in real estate in Greece
3. Cyprus:
The Mediterranean island offers a low corporation tax of 12.5% for residents' businesses but to apply you need to buy a property worth more than €300,000.
4. Portugal:
Invest between €350,000 and €500,000 in real estate (depending on the age of the building and area). The Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program is one of the most popular Residency by Investment programs in Europe and for good reasons.
5. Spain:
The country has a similar program to Portugal, and a resident permit can be obtained by buying a €500,000 house or investing €2 million in Spanish government debt.
