Investor Visa
An Investor Visa is a type of visa offered by many countries to attract foreign capital and business people. It allows individuals to reside, work, or even obtain permanent residency or citizenship in a country by making a significant financial investment in the local economy.
Investor visas are often part of residency-by-investment or citizenship-by-investment programs. These programs can involve investments in:
- Real estate
- Government bonds
- A new or existing business
- National development funds
