Compare Investment Migration Programmes
Pick 2–4 programmes. See them side by side. Then take the test for a personalised match.
This tool compares 17 investment-migration programmes across 17+ countries on ten critical fields side by side: minimum investment, processing time, residence vs citizenship, Schengen access, family coverage, physical presence, citizenship pathway, and estimated total cost. It is impartial, it never advocates for a single country. Ended programmes (Spain's Golden Visa, Malta citizenship) are flagged explicitly so you don't waste time on them.
