  • Golden Visa programs

      • Minimum investment thresholds vary but can be as little as US$300,000.
      • Foreign individuals and companies can invest in the property, but the visa applicant must own 100% of the shares if the investment is made by the company.
      • The investor does not normally need to spend time in, or be tax-resident, in the country in which they invest.
  • Digital nomad schemes

    • The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted traditional migration flows and changed the way business is done (for example, e-commerce) and has accelerated the trend towards remote working.

    • Examples of criteria required to secure a digital nomad visa include:
      • Proof of Client contracts confirming that remote work is possible.
      • Proof of monthly income from previous six months (the minimum threshold will vary from country to country).
      • Sufficient funds in bank account.
