Europe Citizenship by Investment

Overview

Several EU countries have citizenship by investment programs. Some lead directly to citizenship others require either a period of residency and/or ties to the country. Citizens of European countries are automatically citizens of Europe. One of the founding principles of the EU is the freedom of movement of its people. Hence a citizen of any EU country can live anywhere in Europe with the equal rights to work, study and travel.
