What is a Golden Visa?

A golden visa is a form of residency or citizenship by investment program offered by some countries to bring inward investment into their economies. In return for either investment or direct government donation, the prospective applicant is granted either residency or citizenship depending on the program terms.

What countries have golden visa programs?

There are around 18 major golden visa programs available, although the number can vary as programs are closed and new programs are opened. These we tend to class as passive investments or simple donations where legislation has been passed to formalise the program. In addition many countries offer residency and citizenship through active investment such as setting up business and creating jobs.

How much is a golden visa?

Each country sets its own investment level and fees for the golden visa program it offers. The lowest price program launched in 2025 is Nauru starting at $105,000 plus fees. The most expensive is Malta upwards of €750,000 although the benefits of each vary considerably. The Trump Gold Card for the USA will exceed this when launched priced at $5 million. A summary of golden visa prices is shown here.

What investments qualify for a golden visa?

The investment can typically be into real estate, private equity, government infrastructure or business. Each golden visa program has its own rules for what qualifies based on what that government is targeting as a priority for inward investment. Some programs offer donation options as an alternative to investments in the private sector. That is money paid directly into a government fund with no return.

How to apply for a golden visa?

The first step is to determine which program and country is most suitable for your and your family’s needs. There are a range of golden visa programs that offer residency through to citizenship. In consultation with ourselves at La Vida we can advise and help you choose the most suitable option. We will advise not only on the full costs including any additional charges but on the benefits and downsides to each option. Once determined thereafter you need to make the required investment and submit the full application. Programs vary, some require investment first which essentially secures the residency. Others require application first which is approved after due diligence and before making the final investment.

My journey with La Vida began with Edwina, who was my very first point of contact. She warmly welcomed me and opened the door to this process, instantly making me feel at ease. From our initial conversations, Edwina demonstrated a readiness to answer all my questions, providing clarity around every detail, including the specifics of the La Vida registration for trust. Her expertise, patience, and professionalism set the tone for the supportive experience that would follow with the entire team.

I talked to a few firms, but Daniel Twomey really impressed me in the initial call. I was not planning to choose La Vida until I spoke with Daniel. Chelita is fantastic – very responsive and detail-oriented – I really enjoyed working with her.

I have nothing but high praises for everyone who assisted at La Vida. Lavanya Marya in particular was incredible from start to finish. She was professional, helpful, informative and not once did I ever feel as though any concern I brought to her attention was too small. Citizenship by Investment can be a long and sometimes complicated process but Lavanya and her team (especially Jude) made the entire experience as easy as possible and I will not hesitate to recommend their services to others. I feel very fortunate to have worked with such a wonderful group of people.
