Close to 75 percent of the top 20 wealthiest cities in the world share a unique link: they all have an investment immigration program.<\/p>\n
They include six cities from the US, which has the top-rated EB-5 visa program<\/a> offering fast-track permanent residence to anybody investing $1.05 million and creating 10 full-time jobs in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Australia has two cities on the list and its Significant Investor Visa<\/a> is the preferred option for investors from South-East Asia and other parts of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Read More<\/b><\/p>\n Malta Citizenship by Investment Program Under Fire But Investor Demand Continues to Rise<\/a> Singapore\u2019s Global Investor Programme offers multiple investment options depending on whether the applicant is an entrepreneur, a member of a wealthy family, or simply interested in setting up a family office in Singapore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The number of cities offering investment immigration options to wealthy immigrants is likely to rise next year with Dubai and Mumbai entering the industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Just six cities in the top-20 list don\u2019t have citizenship by investment program or permanent residence by investment program for HNIs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n They include London after the UK recently terminated its Tier-1 Investor Visa, and Toronto after Canada became the first developed country to end its popular golden visa.<\/p>\n Destinations like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco have more to offer than just a fast-track PR program for ambitious millionaires. However, there can be no denying that the presence of such an option can be a critical factor that convinces an investor to choose one city or country over another. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An investment immigration program creates a golden cycle where wealth attracts more wealth, which in turn pulls in more millionaires into the city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Most of the cities in the top-20 list have either very high investment requirements or require migrants to look beyond passive investments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The US EB-5 visa is available only to those who create at least 10 jobs in the country. The Significant Investor Visa requires applicants to allocate money to equity and Venture Capital funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Permanent residence in Singapore also comes with a high price tag, while Dubai is combining its Investor visa with a concerted push to attract skilled workers and professionals into the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Good growth prospects, opportunities for wealth creation as well as wealth protection, stable economic and political institutions, excellent prospects for the next generation and a high standard of living \u2013 virtually every city in the list ticks all these boxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n An investment immigration program offers the right to work, study, invest, live, and settle in the destination of choice without onerous requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is why even the most expensive programs rack up huge backlogs as demand from professionals and entrepreneurs outstrips the supply of these visas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Close to 75 percent of the top 20 wealthiest cities in the world share a unique link: they all have an investment immigration program.
