A Golden Visa is a type of residence permit or visa offered by a country to individuals (usually non-citizens) in exchange for a substantial investment in that country. The investment can take various forms such as:
• Real estate purchase
• Government bonds
• Business investment
• Job creation
• Donations to national development funds

Key Features:
• Residency Rights: Grants the investor and often their immediate family the right to live (and sometimes work or study) in the country.
• Path to Citizenship: In some cases, a Golden Visa can lead to permanent residency or even citizenship after a certain period.
• No or Minimal Residency Requirements: Many programs don’t require the visa holder to live full-time in the country.
• Schengen Access: In Europe, countries like Portugal and Greece offer Golden Visas that allow visa-free travel within the Schengen Area.

Popular Countries with Golden Visa Programs:
• Portugal
• Spain
• Greece
• Malta
• UAE
• USA (via the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, though it’s not called a “Golden Visa” officially)

Pros:
• Easier access to travel and business in the region
• Opportunity to live in a desirable country
• Option for a backup residence or second citizenship

Cons:
• High financial threshold
• Program rules can change due to political or economic shifts
• Some countries are phasing them out due to concerns over real estate inflation or money laundering

How early you should get to the airport depends on a few key factors: whether your flight is domestic or international, the airport’s size and busyness, your airline, and whether you have bags to check. Here’s a general guide:

✈️ Domestic Flights (within your country)
• Recommended arrival: 2 hours before departure.
• Why: Gives you time for check-in, security screening, and any potential delays.

🌍 ✈️ International Flights
• Recommended arrival: 3 hours before departure.
• Why: You’ll need to go through passport control, customs, and sometimes more rigorous security.

🧳 Other Factors to Consider
• Baggage: If you’re checking bags, arrive earlier. Bag check often closes 45–60 minutes before departure.
• PreCheck or Global Entry: If you have TSA PreCheck (U.S.) or a similar program, you may be able to shave off 15–30 minutes.
• Small/local airport: You can sometimes get by with less time.
• Busy/major airport: Err on the side of earlier arrival—security lines and traffic can be unpredictable.
• Traveling with kids or elderly: Add extra time.
