Residency by Investment
Residency is a process of attaining resident status by investing in real estate. By investing in real estate to get a Permanent Residency in Europe, you will get a chance to relocate and expand your business. Your children will be allowed to study in the best European Institutions with a guaranteed future. Also, you will get direct access to healthcare facilities in Europe. Most European Countries offer medical cards to their residents so they can get access to free or low-cost healthcare facilities.
Basically, once investors along with their family get permanent residency by investment, they have a bright chance to get citizenship. The duration of getting citizenship after residency varies from country to country. For countries like Portugal and Greece, after 5 years you will get citizenship. But If you are opting for Spain, Cyprus, or Malta, the residency tenure can extend to 10 years as well.
