What is Residence by Investment?
Residence by Investment (RBI) programs provide a pathway to secure long-term or permanent residency in a country through financial investment. Unlike citizenship, residence permits allow you to live and work in a country while maintaining your existing nationality. Common investment types include:
- Real Estate: Purchase property meeting program requirements
- Capital Investment: Deposit funds in government or business accounts
- Business Establishment: Start and operate a local business
- Job Creation: Create employment for local residents
Residence permits typically range from 1-10 years and can often be renewed indefinitely. Many programs offer a pathway to citizenship after a certain period of residence.
