To apply for a Golden Visa, you typically need to purchase real estate in a foreign country. This is the most common method and is offered by many countries with Golden Visa programs. The required investment in real estate usually ranges from $200,000 to over $2 million.
Other investment options can include:
- Making a capital investment in company shares or stocks.
- Investing in the country's public debt or government bonds.
- Creating employment opportunities.
- Contributing to the country's scientific or technological innovation.
It's important to note that not all countries offering Golden Visas provide these additional investment options.
After making the necessary investment, you can apply for a Golden Visa through the respective Embassy in your home country or the relevant government authority abroad. Regardless of your chosen route, your first point of reference should be the country's Embassy.
