Investment in Europe by buying property

Buying property is one of the most popular ways to invest in Europe. Ease and simplicity of the property purchase process and the profit from renting and selling the properties are the reasons for the popularity of this method, but if your primary purpose in buying a property is obtaining a residency in a country, be aware that this will not lead to residency in all countries. Therefore, evaluate all aspects of your decision before taking any action. The minimum amount of real estate investment is possible in Turkey, by buying a property for about 250,000euros, you will receive the passport of this country. In Greece, it is also possible to invest in real state with this amount of money. Also in Portugal by buying a property for 350 thousand euros in addition to your own, your spouse, and your children’s residence you can apply for your parents and your spouse’s parents’ residency.

Buying a property in Cyprus for around 2 million euros can get you this country’s citizenship and you can also benefit from the passport of a European country.

Investment in Europe by registering a company

Another way to invest in Europe is by registering a company. There are two general types of company registrations: in the first type, your residence is due to company registration. In the second type, which is known as corporate work and is invented by Dr. Malekpour, your residence will be the result of working and employment in a registered company. Each one of these methods has their own conditions and it is almost impossible without a lawyer. Generally, in both of the methods relation of the company’s field of activity to the work or educational background of the applicant is one of the basic conditions. Having a business plane and considering an amount of money as the initial capital of the company is the other necessary condition of this method. Some countries, such as Canada and Germany, are very strict for registering a company, and having a strong business plan is very important. In these countries, the profitability of the company will also been examined and if the required quorum is not reached, the applicant’s residence will not be extended.

Self-supporting residence in Europe

Self-supporting is another method of investment in Europe which can be further defined as capitalism, because in this method, you will not need to transfer and spend your capital. You will just show that you have strong assets and financial means and you want to get a residence in a European country. In this method, you are not allowed to work in the country of interest, because you have introduced yourself as a wealthy person. This means that you cannot take any job opportunities in the country of interest. But you can start a business and hire people. Few countries have defined this method and Austria, France, and Switzerland are among them. In each one of these countries, applicants must show special amounts of money in the account for themselves and their children, also having at least two properties will help strengthen your case. In France, there is no presence requirement for extending this residence, but in Switzerland and Austria, residence for at least six months a year is required for this purpose.
