Many nations, including Portugal, Greece, Spain, and Australia, provide permanent residency programs that grant the right to live and work in exchange for investments in real estate, government bonds, or job creation, with the U.S. offering the distinctive EB-5 program for significant investors. Several countries, such as St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, and Malta, allow individuals to acquire citizenship directly through a one-time investment, often without the need for lengthy residency requirements.
