Advantages of Residence Permit by Investment Programs

Residency by Investment delivers more than a new address. It offers global access, porfolio diversification and long-term family security. Designed for those who prioritise mobility, stability and sustainable growth, these programs unites lifestyle benefits with strategic wealth planning.

Enhanced global mobility

The ability to relocate to the country issuing the residence permit and expand the list of visa-free destinations.

For the whole family

Residence by investment programs allow the main applicant to include family members, such as a spouse and children, and in some countries — additional relatives.

Profitable investment

Investments in real estate or business not only grant residency but also help grow your capital.

International financial access

Holding a residence permit enables you to open foreign bank accounts and creates new opportunities for business.

Favourable tax environment

Some countries, such as Greece and Cyprus, offer preferential tax regimes for new residents, including reduced tax rates.

High quality of life

Most countries offering residency by investment feature stable economies and well-developed infrastructure.

Pathway to citizenship

In many jurisdictions, residency is the first step toward permanent residence and eventual citizenship, subject to certain conditions.

Access to quality education and healthcare

You and your family gain access to reputable schools, universities, and modern healthcare systems.

Plan B

An alternative country of residence provides flexibility, security, and peace of mind for your family and business.

Taxes

What Must Residents Pay?

One of the key advantages of residency by investment is the absence of mandatory stay requirements. If you spend less than 183 days per year in the country, you are generally not considered a tax resident and are taxed only on income and assets within that country.

If you are planning to relocate and change your tax residency, it is worth considering jurisdictions such as Greece and Cyprus.

Non-Dom regime (Cyprus): full exemption from SDC (Special Defence Contribution) on dividends, interest, and most passive income for up to 17 years

IP Box regime (Cyprus): a preferential tax regime for IT businesses and intellectual property owners, with an effective corporate tax rate reduced to as low as 2.5%

Non-Dom regime (Greece): a flat tax of €100,000 per year on foreign income.

Program Participation Cost

Full Scope of Expenses

The cost of obtaining residency by investment consists of several components. It includes the main investment amount as well as related administrative and service expenses required for the legal processing of documents:

Government fees and application charges

Notary and registration costs

Property purchase taxes (including VAT, where applicable)

Document translation and legalisation

Legal services and licensed agent support

Opportunities for the Whole Family

Who Can Apply?

Finacially independent adult citizens with legally earned capital, a clean criminal record, and no visa refusals in the chosed region. Eligible dependants (program-specific).

Spouse

Civil marriage in some countries, registered partnerships

Children

Under 18 or incapacitated: generally eligible.
