Resident & Citizenship
RESIDENT & Citizenship by Investment Programs
Citizenship by investment programs provide families with the privilege of acquiring an alternative citizenship, which in turn gives them the right to travel freely to various destinations and to settle in another country. Over 100 countries in the world have some form of investment migration legislation in place. Of these, about 30 residence and/or citizenship by investment programs are running successfully, many of which were designed and set up by Easy & Partners.
More than ever before, wealthy individuals are pursuing citizenship options as the most effective way to access previously unimagined opportunities. Listed below are the details of the most credible and successful citizenship programs offered by Easy Documents & Partners.
Individuals of talent and means need not limit their lives and business interests to one country. Residence by investment programs, also known as golden visa programs, provide high-net-worth individuals with the option to relocate and the right to live, work, study, and receive healthcare in their new countries of residence. Being able to change residence to a suitable country or have multiple residences is an increasingly important aspect of international planning for private clients.
