The UAE has updated the criteria for obtaining residency by investment to attract skilled workers and more investments. The Golden Visa is granted for 10 years, while the Residence Visa is issued for 2 years: https://immigrantinvest.com/golden-visa-uae-en/

What has changed?
🏡 Investors can now purchase off-plan properties. The options include:
— making an initial payment of at least 50% of the property’s value;
— providing a bank guarantee for the remaining amount.

Purchasing ready-to-move properties with a mortgage is no longer allowed. The full amount must be paid upfront.

💼 Special conditions apply to entrepreneurs with innovative ideas or those supported by local business incubators. The minimum property investment requirement has been reduced to 500,000 AED, or $136,000.

🔬 The UAE has simplified document requirements for skilled foreign professionals, such as PhD holders, doctors, engineers, artists, and cultural workers with a job contract in the country.

🎓 High school and university students with a GPA of 3.8 or higher are now eligible for the Golden Visa.

Which other countries offer residency by investment in real estate?
🇬🇷 Greece. Minimum investment is €250,000 for properties requiring renovation or €400,000 for ready-to-move properties in most regions.

🇨🇾 Cyprus. Permanent residency is available with the purchase of one or two properties worth at least €300,000.

🇲🇹 Malta. Minimum property value is €375,000, regardless of the region.
Applicants also pay administrative and government fees and make a donation. Malta offers permanent residency with no expiry.

🇪🇸 Spain. Minimum investment is €500,000 for residential or commercial properties. Spain plans to end its real estate investment residency program in April 2025, so investors still have time to apply.

Hungary has decided against granting residence permits by purchasing real estate even before the option’s official launch.

It was initially expected that, from January 1st, 2025, investors would be able to obtain residency by purchasing residential properties worth at least €500,000: https://immigrantinvest.com/golden-visa-hungary-en/

These changes are already published in the official gazette, Magyar Közlöny, but the government has not yet commented. Media reports suggest the decision was made to protect the housing market from unfair practices and sudden price increases.

Portugal, Spain, and Greece have previously adjusted to their Golden Visas for similar reasons.

Hungary now offers investors only two ways to obtain residency:
1️⃣ €250,000+ — purchasing shares in real estate investment funds.
2️⃣ €1,000,000+ — a donation to a higher education institution.

The terms for other options remain unchanged. Hungary grants 10-year residence permits that can include a spouse, children under 25, and parents.

Stay tuned for updates as we learn more.

13/01/2025

Spain, Greece, and Italy ranked highest in The Economist's 2024 economic indicators. Each year, the British publication reviews 37 countries using five criteria: GDP, stock market performance, inflation, unemployment, and budget balance.

🇪🇸 First place: Spain. The country's GDP grew by 3.5%, ranking behind only Israel and Greece. Last year, Spain was in eighth place, sharing it with Portugal.

If you plan to get residency in Spain by investment, apply soon. The Golden Visa program will end in March 2025: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-in-spain-en/

Digital nomads and investors can apply for a three-year Spanish residency visa, which can be extended.

🇮🇪 Second place: Ireland. The country is a key location for technology companies. Dublin hosts offices for Google, Airbnb, Dell, and Intel.

🇬🇷 🇩🇰 Third place: Greece and Denmark. Greece's GDP grew by 3.7%, and unemployment dropped to its lowest level in 10 years. Last year, Greece was ranked first in The Economist's list.

You can move to Greece by investing at least €250,000 in property for renovation or conversion. For ready-to-live properties, the minimum investment is €400,000.

🇮🇹 Fifth place: Italy. The country's high ranking was driven by GDP growth of 0.6% as well as low unemployment and inflation rates.

Italy offers a Golden Visa for investments starting at €250,000 in local start-ups or €500,000 in Italian companies.

Vanuatu raised $28 million from its citizenship program in the first half of 2024. This made up 18% of the country’s government revenue. By the end of the year, profits from issuing passports may reach $60 million: https://immigrantinvest.com/vanuatu-citizenship-by-investment-en/

On 12 December 2024, the European Council ended visa-free entry to the Schengen Area for Vanuatu citizens. Still, there are reasons why investors may find a second passport worthwhile.

1. Quick citizenship process. The process takes only 1–4 months, which is faster than other programs. The minimum investment is $130,000.

For comparison:
🔹 Dominica: $200,000 investment, takes at least 6 months;
🔹 Egypt: $250,000 investment, at least 10 months;
🔹 Turkey: $400,000 investment, at least 8 months.

2. Flexible application terms. The program is open to most nationalities except those from Iran, Iraq, North Korea, and Yemen. A Vanuatu passport can also help investors apply for EU residency, even if their original citizenship limits their options.

3. No travel or residency requirements. Applicants can complete the process remotely until March 2025. After this date, biometric data will need to be provided in Vanuatu or at one of its consulates.

15% is the rate of the new tax on profits for international companies in the UAE. The Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT) will come into effect on January 1st, 2025: https://immigrantinvest.com/golden-visa-uae-en/

Who will be affected by the tax?
All international corporations will be required to pay the tax if:
🔹 the company's consolidated annual turnover exceeds €750 million;
🔹 the company has recorded turnover in excess of €750 million in at least two of the four financial years before 2025.

Why are the UAE introducing taxes for companies?
The country has joined the global anti-offshore initiative of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The new taxes will help eliminate competition between countries with different tax rates and monitor the movement of income of companies earning profits in the UAE.

The corporate profit tax rate in the UAE is lower than the global average. For example, in the USA, companies pay a federal corporate income tax of 21%. In Germany, corporate tax is about 15%, but with the addition of a trade tax, the total rate can reach 30%.

In 2023, the UAE introduced a tax of 9% for companies with an annual profit of more than 375,000 dirhams, or $102,000. However, this tax did not apply to many free economic zones.

There is still no income tax for individuals in the UAE. The country also does not levy taxes on capital gains, inheritance, real estate, and gifts.

To obtain a 10-year golden visa in the UAE, investors must invest a minimum of $545,000 into the country's economy. A 2-year residency visa is granted for investments from $204,000.

Greece changed the requirements for a residence permit by investment from September 1st, 2024. The investment threshold for new property has increased to €400,000 in most regions, and to €800,000 in Attica, Thessaloniki, Mykonos, and Santorini: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-and-citizenship-greece-en/

The number of applications for the Greece Golden Visa has increased by 12% over the past year. AS of October 2024, 12,577 investors applied, compared to 11,229 in the previous year.

The Greek Ministry of Migration and Asylum also recorded a 61% increase in applications from investors seeking residence permit renewals, with 4,283 applications in October.

The majority of applications for the Greek Golden Visa come from citizens of China, Turkey, Lebanon, the United Kingdom, and Iran.

Greece will offer residence permits for investments in startups from 2025. To qualify, foreign nationals will need to register their project in the National Startup Registry, create at least two jobs, and maintain them for five years.

The minimum investment for this new option is €250,000. Currently, the Golden Visa can only be obtained for this amount by purchasing a property for renovation or conversion into residential space.

We invite you to discuss the details in a one-to-one meeting with experts in investment programs. They will answer your questions and assist in obtaining a residence permit in Greece or another EU country: https://immigrantinvest.com/meetings-en/

🇲🇹 Renting property is the most popular way to obtain permanent residency in Malta, according to researchers from the Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation.

Most investors rent property worth €10,000 per year on the island of Gozo and in the south of Malta, or pay €12,000 per year for rentals in other regions: https://immigrantinvest.com/permanent-residence-in-malta-en/

The most popular rental location for investors is Zebbug, a town on the island of Gozo, where 17% of the population hold a Golden Visa. Other popular locations are Marsaskala, Swieqi, Sliema, and Munxar.

Only 67 out of 2,500 applicants choose to purchase property. The minimum investment threshold for this option is €300,000 in the south of Malta and on Gozo, and €350,000 in the north and central parts of Malta.

To obtain permanent residency in Malta, investors also pay government fees, make a charitable donation, and demonstrate a capital of at least €500,000.

Many investors come to Malta only for vacation, as the Malta Permanent Residence Programme does not require living in the country.

Malta will raise the investment thresholds for obtaining permanent residence from 1 January 2025. The minimum rental cost will increase to €14,000 per year, regardless of region. Property purchase requirements will rise to €375,000.

Schedule a meeting with investment program experts if you plan to apply for permanent residence in Malta before the investment threshold increase: https://immigrantinvest.com/meetings-en/

The Spanish Senate has vetoed the end of the Golden Visa. The bill will now return to Congress, where lawmakers will revise it and vote again.

⏰ If you are planning to obtain residency by investment in Spain, it is advisable to act promptly. As long as the law has not been enacted, the program is still accepting applications from investors: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-in-spain-en/

Two possible scenarios could unfold:
1. Congress may approve the bill immediately with an absolute majority of votes.
2. The bill may be passed by a simple majority of votes in two months.

The Golden Visa in Spain is likely to be cancelled. This initiative is supported by the majority of Congress members. A final decision could be reached by mid-December 2024.

The changes are expected to come into effect in mid-March 2025, three months after being published in the official gazette, Boletín Oficial del Estado.

🏡 You can choose a verified property in Spain from the Immigrant Invest catalogue. To qualify for the Golden Visa, investors purchase one or more properties worth at least €500,000: https://immigrantinvest.com/real-estate/spain/

How to move to Spain and live in the most comfortable and happiest cities? Consider obtaining a Golden Visa by applying before January 1st, 2025. The Spanish government plans to stop issuing residence permits to investors: https://immigrantinvest.com/residence-in-spain-en/

To identify the top cities for expats, the portal InterNations surveyed 12,500 people worldwide about their experiences of living abroad. Cities were evaluated across several categories: quality and cost of living, career opportunities, friendliness of the locals, and overall happiness.

For the second year in a row, Spanish cities lead the rankings—Valencia, Málaga, and Alicante claim the top three spots. And it’s not just about the warm climate.

🥇 Valencia ranks first for quality and cost of living. Respondents also praised its efficient public transport, opportunities for sports, and high level of safety.

🥈 Málaga has earned the title of the friendliest city in the world. Participants noted how easy it is to settle in, make friends, and feel at home in Málaga. The city also ranks first for overall happiness.

🥉 Alicante secures third place, thanks to affordable property prices and the ease of finding accommodation. The city is also well-equipped with access to online services and cashless payment options.

Three cities in the UAE also feature in the top 10. They are Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai. Respondents highly rated these cities for their convenient access to government, retail, and banking services.

During a personalised consultation with investment program experts, you can discuss any questions about obtaining residency or second citizenship in Spain, the UAE, or other countries in detail: https://immigrantinvest.com/meetings-en/

To obtain a UAE Golden Visa, it is not necessary to invest millions in real estate. The minimum investment required for a 10-year visa is approximately $545,000, while a 2-year residency visa can be secured with investments starting at $204,000: https://immigrantinvest.com/golden-visa-uae-en/

🏆 Dubai has achieved yet another record in the real estate market. For the first time, the number of transactions exceeded 20,000 in October 2024—a 13% increase compared to September of the same year. Notably, 73% of the properties sold were at the construction stage.

The most expensive transaction in Dubai during October was the sale of a villa in Jumeirah Bay for $48 million. The priciest unfinished property was a villa in the EOME complex on the western side of Palm Jumeirah, which was sold for $46 million.

A UAE residency or Golden Visa allows investors to relocate to the country with their families, optimise taxes, and open bank accounts in the UAE.

⚡️ The European Union is set to permanently end Vanuatu's visa-free access to Schengen countries.

The European Commission suspended visa-free travel for Vanuatu citizens in March 2022, because of "risks posed by Vanuatu’s investor citizenship program": https://immigrantinvest.com/vanuatu-citizenship-by-investment-en/

The European Parliament voted to cancel Vanuatu’s Schengen visa waiver during its session on November 21st. The amendment was approved almost unanimously, with 62 votes in favour and just one against.

The EU's main concerns include the flaws in due diligence checks, insufficient information sharing, and lack of a physical presence requirement for investors.

In August, Vanuatu introduced a requirement for investors to personally travel to provide biometric data, either in Vanuatu or at biometric collection centres in other countries. However, the European Parliament deemed this measure insufficient.

The final decision to revoke visa-free access now lies with the European Council. If the ban is approved, Vanuatu citizens will be required to obtain visas for travel to Schengen countries.

Currently, a Vanuatu passport allows visa-free travel to 108 countries, including the Caribbean, Singapore, and Malaysia. For travel to Australia, only an electronic visa is required: https://immigrantinvest.com/passport-index/vanuatu/

From January 1st, 2025, Malta will update the conditions for granting permanent residency to investors. The country is raising the minimum property investment threshold, introducing additional fees, and updating the requirements for existing applicants: https://immigrantinvest.com/insider/malta-permanent-residence-changes/

📌 To obtain permanent residency in Malta, the investor:
— pays government fees and contributions;
— makes a charitable donation;
— rents property in Malta for five years or purchases a property.

The minimum rental cost will increase by €4,000, reaching €14,000 per year. The minimum investment for purchasing a property will be €375,000. The investment threshold will be the same across all regions of the country.

🇲🇹 We explain what else will change and how to obtain permanent residency in Malta under the old conditions. Follow the link for more details: https://immigrantinvest.com/insider/malta-permanent-residence-changes/

Grenada issued 4,861 passports to investors and their family members, already surpassing the 4,794 passports granted during the whole of 2023: https://immigrantinvest.com/grenada-citizenship-by-investment-en/

Investors contributed 390 million Eastern Caribbean dollars into Grenada's economy between January and September 2024. This amount is equivalent to approximately $144 million USD. During this period, the country earned 1.5 times more than in the previous quarter.

Over the past three months, Grenada received 178 applications for citizenship by investment—a 20% increase compared to the first six months of the year. In the third quarter, Grenada approved 521 applications and rejected 44.

The most popular option among investors remains real estate, selected by 133 investors. Only 25% of applicants chose to make a non-refundable contribution to the National Transformation Fund.

🏡 Minimum investment for real estate in Grenada is $270,000. The property can be sold after five years, allowing investors to recover their capital.

🏦 Threshold for non-refundable contributions is $235,000. However, this option does not provide for any return on investment.
