Residency By Investment Information & FAQs

Residency by Investment programmes offer long term residency, with options for permanent residency, path to citizenship and real estate investment depending on the programme.

What is RBI?

Residency by Investment allows investors to acquire resident’s rights to live, work and study in their chosen country as long as they make a qualifying investment. Investment options vary between programmes but generally options include an investment fund and/or a real estate purchase above a minimum amount. With a successful qualifying investment, residency is granted for a set period of time, but it is usually renewable providing certain requirements are met. Some residency programmes offer citizenship eligibility after a set amount of time, although not all programmes guarantee this benefit. Some residency programmes offer visa-free travel in a defined area through agreements with surrounding countries.
