We at QICMS (Invest-visa.com) are fond of residency and citizenship by investment comparison tables. They are straightforward to construct and interpret. Residency and citizenship by investment comparison tables help our clients to get the data comparison at a glance.We did our best to put side by side available and legit residence by investment programs in European Union (EU) countries, each offering a multitude of benefits.
Our specialized residence and citizenship experts are devoted to providing comprehensive advice and cross-border tax support to private clients and high net worth individuals. We are able to offer all-inclusive solutions of the highest standards about all personal and corporate needs.
The table below covers all the countries as well as all the legal programs where EU Golden visa can be obtained in a reasonably short period of time (from 2 months to 8 months) without actual physical residency in the country, or with a minimum physical residency in the country, simply by investment or contribution (donation). All the EU countries mentioned in the table recognize dual citizenship. There is no need to relinquish your current citizenship unless your country of origin does not recognize dual citizenship.
