Читать книгу The Global Residence & Citizenship Handbook - Christian H. Kälin - Страница 49

For a person who cannot rely on the ancestral option there are residence and immigration options available to investors and wealthy individuals in numerous countries:²⁸ Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Monaco, Singapore, Hong Kong or the Bahamas are just a few examples of such countries which offer residence to wealthy individuals and investors.

In this book, the most attractive countries where residence permits are available to investors and wealthy individuals have been highlighted. Thus the emphasis is not just on general quality of life, business and employment opportunities (in which case for example Australia or New Zealand would be among the immigration countries of choice), but specifically on factors concerning wealthy individuals, such as personal tax, privacy, personal security. The highlighted countries have also been selected with a view of citizenship planning and the possibility to acquire an attractive alternative citizenship with relative ease. All these countries are officially welcoming foreign persons who are willing to invest.
