Citizenship by Investment in Ireland

Ireland introduced its original investor visa programme in 2012. It was enhanced in 2013 and it now offers the opportunity for applicants from outside the European Union to gain Irish residency through investing a minimum €1.0 million in an Approved Investment Fund.

The Irish golden visa programme was made available to stimulate investment in Ireland and offer residency to dynamic business professionals with a proven record of success. This is an ideal programme for High Net Worth families seeking residency in Europe and will be particularly attractive to businessmen, entrepreneurs and those seeking a top level of education for their children at world class universities.

Investors must be of good character, demonstrate a minimum net worth of €2 million and have a clean criminal record.

Irish citizenship by investment is not available as a direct route for applicants. Investors would need to undertake the Immigrant Investor Programme initially, reside in Ireland and apply for citizenship at a later stage.
