The timeline varies by country. Residency can typically be obtained in 3 to 6 months, while citizenship may take 5 to 10 years of residency, depending on the country’s rules (exceptions exist for immediate citizenship programs like Malta).

Investment amounts range from €250,000 (e.g., Greece). Investments can include real estate, government bonds, or business ventures, with additional application and due diligence fees.

Residency allows you to live and travel freely within the Schengen Area, while citizenship grants full rights to live, work, and travel across all EU member states
