Get Permanent Resident for Ireland By Investment
Although there is a Permanent Resident for Ireland By Investment that leads to Irish citizenship, there is no Ireland Golden Visa technically. With the Irish citizenship Investor Programme, an applicant and qualifying family members can live and work in Ireland indefinitely. For high-net-worth individuals and their families who wish to acquire permanent residency in Ireland, the Irish Residency Program is an ideal option.
