MAKE INVESTMENTS IN in EUROPE AND OBTAIN EUROPEAN RESIDENCY THANKS TO THE GOLDEN VISA PROGRAM
One of the easiest ways to obtain a European residence permit: the GOLDEN VISA program. This investor visa allows non-EU citizens to obtain a residence permit for 1 year (with possible future renewals to increase the validity period of the title). Not having to live in the country (for more than 183 days) is one of the advantages of this residence permit, as the applicant only has to visit the country from time to time.
“To be able to renew the residence permit, you must maintain the investment and stay in In the country once a year”
- SIMPLE PROCEDURE
Take the worry out of paperwork and tough conditions. You will only have to invest 500,000 euros in real estate and you can obtain the residence.
- FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
Once you have obtained the golden visa you will be able to move easily and freely throughout the Schengen area.
- TRAVEL ONCE A YEAR
In order to be able to keep your investor visa, you will only need to travel to the residencial country chosen once a year (so you will not have to reside more than 183 days per year as many other types of visa require).
- JOINT APPLICATION
In addition to your license as a principal investor, you can also request the residence for your spouse and your child.
- WORK IN Europe
