Investor visa in Retiring abroad
Investor visa in Retiring abroad
Many countries have an investor's visa. If you are about to enjoy a well-funded retirement, you can put a lump of money into a local business and thereby gain the privilege of living in the country. We list some examples here, but if you have a few million dollars (invest some, and buy a house), you can go almost anywhere; most countries have some form of investor visa.
Australia several different programs for various sorts of business person or investor
Bermuda
Canada investors C$800,000, entrepreneurs or self-employed with less money but stiffer requirements
Fiji
Hong Kong straight investment, HK$10 million, and a cheaper scheme for entrepreneurs
New Zealand NZ$750,000
Singapore several programs
UK £1 million

For several countries, a pure investment visa requires a large amount of money but an entrepreneur visa ? for someone who intends to start and manage a business in the country ? requires much less. However, there are generally additional requirements, such as having relevant experience and providing a detailed and plausible business plan.
For some countries, language requirements are waived for investors. For example, for nearly all classes of visa Canada requires that an immigrant speak English or French. However, there is no such requirement for an investor.
For some countries, investment is almost the only way to get in long-term. For example, Chinese permanent residence requires one of four things: investment, four years in a high-level job in China, five years married to a Chinese, or "great and outstanding contributions to China".
