Why has investment immigration become relevant in today's environment?

The term “immigration” refers to the process by which foreigners enter the territory of another country with the intention of becoming permanent residents and obtaining a residence permit. As the events of 2020 and early 2021 have shown, with the closing of borders, there are many advantages to having real estate abroad and a residence permit. Because of this, there is a growing interest in investment immigration programs, which are becoming vital for many people. We discussed this topic with Ksenia Korzun, a leading specialist at ILP Group. This agency advises and accompanies private investors and investment funds in transactions related to prestigious and hotel real estate within the framework of programs that allow obtaining citizenship or residency in the European Union, UK, USA, Canada and other countries. Xenia is a recognized specialist in hotel real estate transactions and actively participates in major international events, including conferences in Davos.

Reasons for the emergence of investment programs

What are the reasons for European Union countries to offer immigration investment programs? The main purpose of such initiatives is toincrease in state budget revenuesandfundraising. This market is quite significant: according to 2019 data, citizenship and residency programs through investment brought countries around the world a total of21.4 billion dollars. Moreover, the influx of new affluent citizens contributes to the creation of additional jobs, economic improvement and the development of the real estate market, in contrast to work-related or illegal migration.

Nevertheless, there may be risks such as the infiltration of criminal funds, forcing EU governments to intensify vetting of all new immigrants and banks to implement stricter procedures in the area ofKYC.

Advantages and limitations of investment immigration programs

What benefits can participants in investment immigration programs expect? And what limitations exist for them? Each country offers its own unique conditions and opportunities. For example, in some countries in the Caribbean region, immigration programs are very attractive because they allow new citizenship and visa-free access to more than 100 countries, including the European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom. The cost of such programs usually remains at a reasonable level.

However, it should be noted that most potential immigrants do not seek to move to the Caribbean. If a person is thinking of changing the country of residence, EU states are predominantly chosen. This is due to:

• Favorable conditions for doing business
• High quality of medical services
• Accessibility of education

The factors that influence the choice of a new place of residence include the security, economic stability and overall quality of life that European countries offer. Investment immigration is beginning to be seen as an effective mechanism to not only obtain permanent residence, but also to open new horizons for business and improve living conditions.

Therefore, before deciding to relocate and invest in overseas real estate, it is important to carefully evaluate the available options and conduct a comprehensive analysis of all factors.

The Portuguese Golden Visa is one of the most popular programs for those who want to immigrate to another country through investment.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the topic of investment immigration is becoming increasingly relevant, especially in light of current economic and political realities. Possessing foreignreal estate and residence permit, people get not only stability, but also financial advantages.

I realized that in the conditions of instability in the world, such programs represent an excellent opportunity to achieve the desired standard of living and expand horizons. Discussing this topic with Ksenia Korzun, I realized that every investor is looking not only for an opportunity to relocate, but also for a qualitative improvement in their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

Investment as a way to improve lives

Investing in quality projects can not only multiply capital, but also allow you to become part of new communities in countries with strong economies and high standards of living. Ksenia emphasized the importance of carefully checking all the nuances and details related to obtaining a visa, as this will avoid unforeseen difficulties in the future.

Choice of country and strategy

Each country offers its own unique conditions, which means that the choice is not only a matter of finances, but also of personal preferences and goals. Can I envision living in Europe or the United States, and what impact will it have on my family? These questions require deep reflection.

Recommendations for potential emigrants

So I urge anyone considering immigration not to rush into making a choice, but to thoroughly research all available options, including:

• Other ways to invest;
• Advantages and disadvantages of different countries;
• Opportunities that may be more attractive than they first appear.

It is important to remember that the success of such a transition is highly dependent on the right strategy and professional support.

Final thoughts

Finally, I hope that our discussion and the upcoming conference will help many people to make informed choices and realize their dreams, to be the starting point that will lead to a better future and new perspectives for many.

Don't miss the chance to expand your horizons and take advantage of the opportunities the world has to offer today.
