If you dream of a new life and greater opportunities in Europe, the plethora of immigration options available to you can be overwhelming to say the least. One increasingly common route into Europe is the so-called “Golden Visa“, which is essentially a marketing term to describe the investor visa. EU Golden Visas involve making an investment or donation into a European member state in return for a residency permit. In many cases, EU Golden Visas can lead to citizenship by naturalization once the investment is held for a predetermined length of time (other qualifying criteria, such as language tests and links to the country, may be required depending on the country in question).

In the above video, Jonathan explores the major European Golden Visa programs that exist (including Portugal, Spain, Greece, Italy, Malta, Cyprus and Hungary). The Portugal Golden Visa is currently Europe’s most popular Golden Visa program, even is spite of recent rule changes, due to the low physical stay requirements for citizenship. However, other programs can be compelling in certain circumstances, with many variable factors worth consideration.

If you meet the capital requirements, an EU Golden Visa program might be your key to unlocking a world of possibilities in 2024. In many cases, a Golden Visa offers the possibility of investment returns in addition to the residency permit and potential for second citizenship, which begs the question: does an EU Golden Visa program belong in your financial plan?

From the beautiful beaches of Portugal to the vibrant cities across Spain or the picturesque landscapes of Greece, the EU offers a wealth of options for those seeking a new home or investment opportunity. With its wide range of benefits, including visa-free travel within the Schengen area and access to world-class education and healthcare systems, the various EU Golden Visas available have become a highly sought-after pathway to residency, dual citizenship and a brighter future for families across the world.

Join Jonathan as we examine the different European countries that offer the Golden Visa program, the eligibility requirements, investment options, the benefits each destination brings and the key questions to ask yourself when planning your investment. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retirement spot or a bustling business hub, this guide will provide you with valuable insights to help you find the perfect EU Golden Visa in 2024.
