Residency & Citizenship
In certain jurisdictions, real estate investments may form part of broader frameworks that allow for residency rights or, in some cases, pathways to citizenship, subject to local regulations and eligibility requirements.
While Prime Land Ventures does not provide legal, tax, or immigration advice, we recognise that such considerations may be relevant to some investors when evaluating cross-border investments.

European Programmes
A number of European countries have historically offered or continue to offer investment-based residency programmes, often referred to as “Golden Visa” regimes. These programmes typically require qualifying investments, which may include real estate, and are subject to ongoing regulatory changes. Examples include: • Portugal — Residency programmes (recently restructured) • Spain — Residency through real estate investment (subject to policy review) • Greece — Residency programmes linked to property investment thresholds • Malta — Residency and citizenship frameworks through investment-based schemes • Cyprus — Residency programmes (citizenship programme discontinued) |
Important Considerations
• Programme availability and requirements are subject to change
• Minimum investment thresholds and qualifying criteria vary by jurisdiction
• Residency rights do not necessarily imply tax residency
• Citizenship pathways, where applicable, typically require additional conditions (e.g. time, presence, integration)
