Investor Visa
What is an Investor Visa
An investor visa grants residence (and in some cases, a path to permanent residence) to foreign nationals who invest in qualifying assets such as approved funds, businesses, or government-designated projects. Programs are tightly regulated and change frequently—most no longer accept passive real estate purchases.
Who is it for
High-net-worth individuals investing in approved funds or enterprises.
Stay/Outcome
Typically residency with renewal; some offer PR after conditions are met.
What changed
Many countries ended real-estate routes; check current rules per country.
