Our Full Portfolio of Residency and Citizenship Programs
Visacite advises on more than twenty residency and citizenship programs across five continents. Every program below is one we actively work with, backed by up-to-date knowledge of investment thresholds, processing times, and eligibility rules — including recent regulatory changes that materially affect outcomes. Programs are grouped below by category; visit our Residency and Citizenship pages for full program detail, or contact us for a personal recommendation.
Antigua and Barbuda
A National Development Fund contribution grants citizenship for a family of four, with real estate and business alternatives also available. Access to roughly 169 visa-free and visa-on-arrival destinations, including the Schengen Area.
Dominica
One of the most established and cost-efficient citizenship programs, via the Economic Diversification Fund or a real estate investment. Access to over 140 visa-free destinations.
Grenada
A National Transformation Fund contribution or real estate investment, with the added benefit of E-2 Investor Visa eligibility for the United States — a benefit unique among Caribbean programs.
St Kitts and Nevis
The world’s longest-running citizenship by investment program, offering access to 167 visa-free and visa-on-arrival destinations, via the Sustainable Island State Contribution or real estate.
St Lucia
A National Economic Fund contribution, with real estate, enterprise investment, and government bond alternatives.
São Tomé and Príncipe
The newest citizenship by investment program, via a National Transformation Fund donation. As a recently launched program, we advise clients on realistic processing expectations alongside its competitive pricing.
Turkey
Citizenship via qualifying real estate (with a three-year resale restriction) or other qualifying investment. Spouse and minor children are included automatically; adult children and parents require separate arrangements.
Vanuatu
The fastest citizenship by investment program in the world, often completed within 30 days. Note: the EU and UK have withdrawn visa-free access for Vanuatu passport holders as of 2023–2024 — we brief every client on current travel benefits before proceeding.
Canada — Start-Up Visa
A path to Canadian permanent residency for qualifying entrepreneurs backed by a designated venture capital fund, angel investor group, or business incubator. Note: the program is currently paused for new applications as of January 2026; we monitor its status closely and advise clients on timing.
Greece Golden Visa
Real estate investment grants a renewable residence permit and Schengen Area access with no minimum stay requirement. Investment thresholds vary by region and property type following 2024 reforms.
Hungary — Guest Investor Program
A licensed real estate fund investment or a donation to a public interest trust grants a ten-year renewable residence permit, with a path to permanent residency and citizenship.
Italy Investor Visa
A tiered program ranging from innovative startup investment to government bonds, with the investment made only after visa approval. Access to Italy’s flat-tax regime for new residents.
Latvia Residency by Investment
One of the EU’s most accessible residency programs, via business investment, government bonds, real estate, or a bank deposit, with no minimum stay requirement to maintain status.
Malta Permanent Residence Programme
Qualifying real estate purchase or lease plus government contributions grants an indefinite EU residence permit with no minimum stay requirement.
Portugal Golden Visa
Investment via a qualifying fund (the real estate route closed in 2023) grants renewable residency with one of Europe’s lowest physical presence requirements — as little as 7 days in the first year.
United Arab Emirates — Golden Visa
A qualifying freehold property investment grants a renewable 10-year UAE residence visa with no sponsor and no minimum stay requirement. Note: the UAE Golden Visa does not carry a path to citizenship.
United Kingdom — Innovator Founder Visa
For entrepreneurs with an endorsed, viable business plan. There is no fixed minimum investment; funding must be realistic and evidenced. A path to settlement after three years.
United States — EB-5 Program
A qualifying investment in a US commercial enterprise, often through a regional center, grants a Green Card for the investor and immediate family, with a path to citizenship.
United States — EB-3 Program
An employer-sponsored Green Card route for skilled and professional workers. Unlike EB-5, this is not an investment program — it requires a qualifying job offer and labor certification from a US employer. Visacite guides clients through eligibility and connects them with appropriate employer partners.
Panama
Panama offers active residency-by-investment routes today via qualifying real estate, securities, or bank deposits. Visacite is finalizing our Panama advisory offering — contact us to register your interest.
Argentina
Argentina is developing a citizenship-by-investment program under recent government reforms. As of mid-2026 the program remains in pre-launch status, with implementing regulations pending. We do not currently accept applications for this program and will update this page once it formally opens.
