Buy property, earn residency.
14 of PropSentral’s markets carry a genuine, currently-active property-linked residency program — from the UAE’s federal Golden Visa to Turkey’s residency-and-citizenship route. Thresholds, terms and what each program actually grants vary sharply by country; compared honestly below, not oversimplified into one universal “golden visa” pitch.
A residency permit is not citizenship. Most programs below grant renewable residency, not a passport — Turkey is the one market here with a genuine citizenship route, at a higher investment threshold than its residency-only tier. Thresholds and rules change — Jordan revised its residency tiers in July 2026, the Maldives launched its program from scratch in April 2026, and Spain closed its Golden Visa entirely in April 2025 — so treat every figure below as a starting point, not a locked-in fact, and confirm the current terms directly with your PropSentral advisor before you commit to a purchase.

| Umm Al Quwain | UAE Golden Visa (federal program, same as Dubai/Abu Dhabi/RAK) | AED 2M+ property investment — note entry-level Siniya Island apartments start below this (from ~AED 1.1M), so not every unit qualifies | 9 | View market → |
