Investment immigration programs have historically been perceived
as a fad among the ultra-rich who wish to hold a second passport as
a status symbol. Only recently experts and wealthy individuals have
begun viewing programs as a tool for financial planning and
securing better opportunities for themselves and their
children.
Visa-free travel privileges to the E.U., the U.S., Canada, and
other developed countries, liberal and lenient tax regimes, better
education for children and political and economic stability are
some reasons why investment immigration programs are gaining
popularity.
With most programs offering real estate as an investment option,
property developers are scrambling to benefit from such programs.
With so many options available the risk is magnified of investors
buying real estate at excessively-high prices or investing in
unviable projects with little chance of generating a return.
