Our webinar on Residency by Investment (RIB) programs throughout the globe took place on Friday, December 15th.
Some of the topics covered included:
1. What leads an individual to pick a residency by investment program over a citizenship by investment one?
2. Which solutions do clients prefer: property or government bond investments?
3. What are the guarantees for a successful RBI application?
4. Which are the countries offering corporate tax planning opportunities in addition to residency?
5. Considering that many property developers are promising guaranteed citizenship, how good are the chances of obtaining citizenship in Portugal after 6 years?
6. How has instability in the Middle East impacted residency by investment programs? Given its proximity, what’s the role of Cyprus in all of this?
7. The German passport is one of the strongest in the world. What options are available for investors to get a residence permit in Germany?
8. Why are investors willing to pay a lot of money for Residence by Investment Programs, even though they can get a second citizenship in the Caribbean with the same or less amount of investment?
9. What are the US Residency by Investment programs available and what exactly is the difference between the EB5 & E2 Visa?
