When it comes to achieve financial freedom and a better overall lifestyle, acquiring alternative residency is the best way to accomplish greater freedom and financial opportunities.
A residence by investment program allows a foreign national to invest in another country and obtain residence there. These programs are best for high net-worth individuals (HNWIs), entrepreneurs and investors who want to try out a destination before making life-long commitments. Permanent residency investment programs are now the fastest growing area of immigration as applicants for residency by investment increased by more than 70% in the past year alone.
Investing in an active business is one of the ideal and faster ways of getting permanent residency in a country where the investment has been made. There are a number of countries around the world including Canada, Australia and Hungary where a foreign investor can get the opportunity to gain the right to residence in return for investment.
