In recent years, many countries have started to issue long term or permanent residency to investor and their families based on acquisition of real estate, transfer of capital into government bonds/securities, or investor job creation programs.

CHAM has established a division to handle investment and residency applications covering real estate, foreign investor programs and economic development projects in several jurisdictions.

WHAT IS RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT (RBI)?

Most of us know the importance of permanent residence or PR. It allows a person to legally reside in the host country without being a citizen. When you get access to life in a host country by investing in its economy and thereby obtaining a permanent residency card, it is called Residency by Investment.

WHY INVEST IN A PERMANENT RESIDENCY?

Permanent residency is a magic wand to a lot of possibilities. If you are a high-income individual, you can opt to have a peaceful life in another country of high living standards and increase chances of mobility and doing business.

• BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

  Permanent residency in a new country allows you to do business in two countries including the country of your origin. You can smartly leverage the best of both markets and increase chances of success.

• SECURITY AND MOBILITY

  It is important that you have an option where you can stay away from danger if the situation demands. With a permanent residence, you can stay away from the political turmoil of your homeland in case it happens. It also gives your passport a boost since your country of origin may have a restrictive visa policy, unlike the country where you have the PR.

• LIFESTYLE IMPROVEMENT

  Open the doors to a better life for your family and your future generation. Get the best of healthcare, education, and other infrastructural facilities by opting for a permanent residence.

WHY COUNTRIES OPEN FOR RBI?
Most of the countries that offer RBI offer an advanced quality of living. While doing so, they also need to attract the crucial foreign direct investment needed for societal change and lifestyle improvement. Many countries, Portugal for instance, use the foreign investment from RBI to improve tourism, culture, and art.
