Register/Investment migration

Investment migration

The rule of each jurisdiction where buying a residence can bear on a passport or a residence permit — and of those where it cannot.

42 jurisdictions are sourced, each with the date its rule was checked. The register publishes the rule and, on every record, the facts the rule turns on — entry price in local currency, seller, and, where the rule distinguishes them, first sale, fractional sale, construction status, tenure — each dated and sourced. It does not say whether any purchase qualifies. Eligibility attaches to a sale, not to a building: where a rule counts only a developer’s first sale, the same building answers differently for its first buyer and its next. The register is not immigration counsel. Where sources disagree, the page says so rather than choosing.

Residence permit — property buys no citizenship

Five-year renewable residence for one property, valued by the Department of Land and Survey and held five years without sale or mortgage: JOD 200,000 from a developer or housing company, JOD 300,000 from any other seller, JOD 150,000 outside the Capital Governorate with no developer requirement (thresholds of July 2026).

Citizenship is reserved for productive investment — new projects, share purchases, job creation — from about JOD 500,000; real estate does not qualify. Framework in force 2 July 2025, reviewed every six months.

Aqaba adds incentives for owners: a customs exemption for furniture from JOD 150,000, temporary entry for two vehicles from JOD 300,000, and one personal boat free of duty and sales tax.

Where the sources disagree: The Aqaba threshold appears as JOD 150,000 from May 2025 in one account and as part of the July 2026 amendments in others.

Where the sources disagree: Some market coverage quotes citizenship from USD 750,000; counsel advises relying on the JOD figures published by Invest Jordan.

Citizenship closed; permanent residence remains

Citizenship by investment ended with the Court of Justice of the EU's Grand Chamber ruling in Commission v Malta, Case C-181/23, on 29 April 2025; repealed by Act XXI of 2025, in force 24 July 2025. The court held that EU citizenship cannot result from a commercial transaction.

Malta Permanent Residence Programme: purchase from EUR 375,000 (EUR 300,000 in Gozo and the south of Malta), held five years, or rent from EUR 14,000 a year (EUR 12,000); government contribution and a EUR 2,000 donation. Lifelong residence, not citizenship.

Special Designated Areas — Portomaso, Tigné Point, Mercury Towers, Pendergardens, Fort Chambray and others — are where foreign buyers purchase without the usual restrictions.

Where the sources disagree: The closure is dated 29 April 2025 (the ruling) by some sources and 24 July 2025 (the repealing Act) by others.

Where the sources disagree: Total MPRP cost is given as from about EUR 150,000, EUR 169,000 (rental route) and EUR 475,000 all-in (purchase route) — different routes, often quoted without saying which.

Most applicants qualify instead on income (about USD 4,400 a month) or savings (about USD 74,000), which is why the property route is rarely used.

Where the sources disagree: The floor is read as 40,000 times the UMA (about MXN 4.69 million) by some consulates and 40,000 times the minimum wage (about MXN 10.76 million) by others; dollar figures published for 2026 run from USD 185,000 to USD 700,000.

Foreign ownership opened in designated zones under the law in force from January 2026. Reports of 'lifetime residency' for SAR 4 million are not officially confirmed.

A separate permanent Premium Residency costs a one-time SAR 800,000 and is not tied to property; the two figures are often confused.

New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme: HK$30 million in permissible assets, of which HK$3 million into the CIES Investment Portfolio. Residential property counts since 16 October 2024 — one property at HK$50 million or more, lowered to HK$30 million for purchases completed from 17 September 2025 — but at most HK$10 million of it, and only the equity, never the mortgaged part. A home alone confers nothing; it can be a third of the qualifying portfolio. Two-year entry, then three-year extensions; permanent residence after seven years.

Under Lex Koller (1983) a buyer resident abroad may acquire only a holiday home in a designated tourist area, against a national ceiling of about 1,500 permits a year; a B-permit resident may buy a primary residence where they live. A draft revision published in April 2026 would tighten the law further.

The EB-5 immigrant investor programme requires USD 1,050,000 (USD 800,000 in a targeted employment area) in a business creating ten full-time jobs; a residential purchase is a passive investment and does not qualify.

Buying property in the United Kingdom confers no immigration permission. The Tier 1 (Investor) route closed to new applicants at 16:00 on 17 February 2022, and even while open it excluded investment in property; no replacement grants residence for passive investment.

Existing Tier 1 holders could extend until 17 February 2026 and may apply for settlement until 17 February 2028.

Citizenship by donation — no property route

Development Support Programme: USD 130,000 for a single applicant, USD 180,000 for a family of four; the Capital Investment Immigration Plan adds a redeemable element of about USD 50,000. No residence requirement.

The EU suspended Vanuatu's visa waiver and then withdrew it permanently on 12 December 2024 (Regulation (EU) 2025/11), citing the programme itself.

Where the sources disagree: The suspension is dated March 2022 by one source, 2022 by others, and as applying from 4 February 2023 by another — decision against application.

Vietnamese law separates ownership from residence entirely; a purchase creates no residence right. Foreigners may own apartments only in approved projects, capped at 30% of a building's units, for 50 years renewable.
