Residency by investment: government program pages
Reference pages for 13 government residence programs, each drawn from the official government page and written as information for U.S. citizens.
What these pages cover
Each page summarizes the legal basis, routes, amounts published by the government, family inclusion and residence conditions of one program. A residence permit and tax residence are separate legal questions, and these pages keep them apart.
The pages do not recommend any program, rank programs or assess whether a person qualifies. The responsible authority decides every application.
