The residency and citizenship programs compared here cover Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Grenada and the UAE, from Portugal's Golden Visa (€500,000 fund route), D7 and D8 visas to Greece's Golden Visa (€400,000 or €800,000 for standard property) and Grenada citizenship by investment.

A residency-by-investment program, often called a golden visa, is a legal route that grants a residence permit in exchange for a qualifying investment; income-based visas such as Portugal's D7 and D8 grant residence to people who prove passive or remote income instead.
