For families looking for a stable, long-term base in the European Union, Cyprus permanent residence is one of the options worth understanding clearly.

Under Regulation 6(2) of the Aliens and Immigration Regulations, non-EU nationals may apply for a permanent residence permit by making a qualifying investment of at least €300,000. Routes include a new residential property bought as a first sale, other real estate such as offices or shops, share capital in a Cyprus company with local staff, or units in a Cyprus investment fund.

Applicants also need a secure annual income of at least €50,000, plus €15,000 for a spouse and €10,000 for each dependent child, together with health insurance and clean criminal records.

The permit can include your spouse and children under 18, and in some cases dependent children up to 25 in tertiary education. Processing takes from 6 months, depending on the Civil Registry and Migration Department's workload.

If you would like an independent view of whether Cyprus suits your family, you can read more at https://atexpress.net or message us on WhatsApp at +357 979 42 388.

Greece Golden Visa applications fall 44% in the first half of 2026

According to data from Greece's Ministry of Migration and Asylum, the country received 2,551 new Golden Visa applications during the first six months of 2026.

This represents a decrease of approximately 44% compared with the 4,553 new applications recorded during the same period in 2025.

However, the decline in new applications does not necessarily mean that demand for the Greece Golden Visa has disappeared.

During the same period, 4,919 residence permits were renewed, while a significant number of applications from previous years remained under processing.

The figures provide an interesting snapshot of the current Golden Visa market: new applications have slowed, while authorities continue processing applications submitted during previous periods.

📌 For prospective investors, it remains important to review the current investment thresholds, eligible properties, property-use restrictions and application status before making an investment decision.

Caribbean citizenship programs face new scrutiny from the EU

The European Union has called for changes to Citizenship by Investment programs operated by five Eastern Caribbean countries: Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts & Nevis and Saint Lucia.

The discussions focus on strengthening areas such as:

• Due diligence and background checks
• Identity and security screening
• Genuine links with the country granting citizenship
• Transparency and oversight of citizenship programs

The development is significant for the Caribbean Citizenship by Investment market, as participating countries continue to face pressure to strengthen compliance standards.

📌 It is important to distinguish between ongoing regulatory discussions and an immediate termination of a program. The situation is developing, and requirements may differ from one Caribbean program to another.

For investors considering Caribbean citizenship, following the specific rules of each country is essential rather than treating the region as one single program.

The Power of the Argentine Passport and New Investment Opportunities

The Argentine passport is one of the most powerful travel documents in South America and ranks strongly globally. According to the Henley Passport Index, it ranks 15th worldwide, granting citizens entry to approximately 169 countries and territories without a prior visa or with fast-track options.

Core strengths and privileges of the Argentine passport include:

👉 Free movement to Europe and the UK

Schengen Area: Complete visa-free entry for short-term tourism or business visits of up to 90 days in countries like France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc.

United Kingdom and Ireland: Free entry for tourism without a visa.

👉 MERCOSUR Bloc Privileges (South America)

No passport required: Citizens can travel across major South American nations such as Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru, etc., using only their National Identity Card (DNI).

Living and working rights: Easily obtain residency permits, and freely work and study in any member state with minimal procedures.

👉 Broad coverage in Asia and the Americas

Asia: Visa-free access to major economies like Japan, South Korea, Russia, and Southeast Asian nations like Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, etc.

Americas: Visa-free tourism to most Latin American countries, including Mexico.

👉 Gateway to the United States via E-2 Visa

Although a pre-travel visa is still required for entry into the US, Australia, and Canada, Argentina maintains a trade treaty with the United States. This gives citizens the privilege of applying for the E-2 Investor Visa to easily establish businesses and reside in the US with their families.

Market Update: Argentina Launches Citizenship-by-Investment Program

The Argentine government has officially partnered with global residence and citizenship advisory firm Henley & Partners to design and implement a Citizenship by Investment program. This program allows international investors to contribute approximately 350,000 USD to directly acquire this powerful passport without prolonged residency requirements.

Clients interested in global mobility solutions and looking to learn more about this new program can contact AT Express directly for professional assistance.

If you are comparing “Golden Visa” programs around the world, there is one important point to understand:

Not all investment programs offer the same outcome.

Some provide temporary residence.
Some offer permanent residence.
Others grant citizenship directly — without a prior residence requirement.

Here is a snapshot of 17 investment-based residency and citizenship programs with relatively low entry thresholds in 2026, starting from around €50,000.

UNDER €100,000

🇱🇻 Latvia — from €50,000
Business investment route. From September 2026, Latvia changed its investment framework, removing the previous real-estate and bank-deposit routes. The €50,000 route also involves a €10,000 state budget contribution.

🇸🇹 São Tomé & Príncipe — from US$90,000
Citizenship by contribution. No prior residence period.

🇳🇷 Nauru — from US$90,000
Citizenship by contribution under the 2026 promotional rate. The standard contribution is higher.

FROM US$130,000

🇻🇺 Vanuatu — from US$130,000
Citizenship by contribution, with no minimum residence requirement.

FROM €169,000

🇲🇹 Malta MPRP — from approximately €169,000 when renting
This is Permanent Residence, not citizenship and not a conventional temporary Golden Visa.

The minimum rental-based structure includes property costs, government fees, contribution and charitable donation.

US$200,000–250,000: CARIBBEAN CITIZENSHIP

🇩🇲 Dominica — from US$200,000
🇦🇬 Antigua & Barbuda — from US$230,000
🇬🇩 Grenada — from US$235,000
🇱🇨 Saint Lucia — from US$240,000
🇰🇳 St. Kitts & Nevis — from US$250,000

These programs generally involve a non-refundable contribution and can lead directly to citizenship without a residence stage.

FROM €250,000: EUROPEAN RESIDENCY PROGRAMS

🇬🇷 Greece — from €250,000 in specific cases
The €250,000 route applies to certain special real-estate cases, such as eligible conversions or restoration projects. Standard thresholds can be €400,000 or €800,000 depending on the location.

🇵🇹 Portugal — from €250,000
The €250,000 route relates to eligible cultural or artistic investment. Investment-fund routes start at €500,000.

🇭🇺 Hungary — from €250,000
Residence through the qualifying investment route, including approved investment funds.

🇮🇹 Italy — from €250,000
Investment in an eligible Italian innovative startup.

🇪🇬 Egypt — from US$250,000
Citizenship by investment through a qualifying government contribution.

FROM US$300,000

🇵🇦 Panama — from US$300,000
Qualified Investor Permanent Residence. Under the latest 2026 rules, the US$300,000 threshold applies to qualifying first-sale/new real estate. Resale property has a higher threshold.

🇨🇾 Cyprus — from €300,000
Permanent Residence through qualifying real estate, company investment or approved investment funds, subject to the program's conditions.

⚠️ THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS NOT “WHICH ONE IS CHEAPEST?”

Before choosing an investment program, compare at least three things:

1️⃣ What do you actually receive?
Temporary residence, permanent residence, or citizenship?

2️⃣ Is the investment recoverable?
A €250,000 property investment is fundamentally different from a €250,000 non-refundable government contribution.

3️⃣ What happens after you receive the status?
Look at renewal requirements, physical presence, family eligibility, taxation, mobility and the possibility of eventually obtaining permanent residence or citizenship.

Because:

€200,000 for citizenship ≠ €200,000 for permanent residence ≠ €200,000 for a property investment.

And one final lesson from 2026:

👉 The cheapest program today may not be available tomorrow.

Spain closed its Golden Visa in 2025.
Ireland closed its Investor Programme in 2023.
Latvia changed its investment framework in September 2026.
Panama also tightened its real-estate requirements in September 2026.

So don't choose an immigration program simply because it has the lowest price tag.

Choose based on the outcome you actually want.

Naoero (Nauru) citizenship 2026: US$25,000 contribution reduction

The Nauru Economic and Climate Resilience Citizenship Program is offering a notable contribution incentive in 2026.

According to the Nauru government, eligible applicants can benefit from a US$25,000 reduction in the applicable contribution amount.

The current incentive is available for eligible applications submitted by 31 December 2026.

Nauru's citizenship program was established to attract international investment and support the country's economic development and climate resilience initiatives.

For families considering the program, it is important to review:

• The current contribution amount
• Eligibility requirements for the main applicant and family members
• Due diligence procedures
• Processing timelines
• Passport benefits and limitations

📌 As contribution policies can change, applicants should verify the applicable requirements and fees before submitting an application.

Turkey tightens citizenship application checks 🇹🇷

Turkey is strengthening its review of citizenship applications, particularly those linked to real estate investment.

According to recent information released by Turkish authorities, citizenship decisions involving 6,134 individuals have been cancelled or revoked due to issues related to fraud, security or public order.

Notably, the investment eligibility certificates of 1,150 investors were cancelled after authorities identified irregular transactions, including cases involving inaccurate real estate valuations.

The development highlights the importance of choosing compliant properties and ensuring that every part of the investment transaction is properly documented.

📌 For investors, the key considerations go beyond the minimum investment amount. Source of funds, property valuation, legal documentation and due diligence are increasingly important throughout the application process.

Greece plans to increase property transfer tax for non-EU buyers from 3% to 15%

The Greek government has announced a significant change to the property transfer tax for residential property purchased by buyers from countries outside the EU.

The proposed rate will increase from 3% to 15%, with the measure set to apply from 2027. The government has also announced a transition period for certain transactions already in progress, with further implementation details to follow.

👉 What could this mean for Golden Visa investors?

A simple example for a property valued at €250,000:

• At 3%: approximately €7,500
• At 15%: approximately €37,500
• Difference: €30,000

That is a substantial increase in the upfront cost of acquiring a property.

For investors considering the Greece Golden Visa, this makes it increasingly important to look beyond the property purchase price and calculate the full acquisition cost, including taxes, legal fees, government fees and other transaction expenses.

Important: The announced 15% rate concerns residential property purchased by certain third-country buyers and is subject to the final implementing legislation and applicable exemptions. The Greek government has also indicated transitional arrangements for transactions already underway.

If you are considering a property purchase in Greece for Golden Visa purposes, understanding the applicable tax rules and the timing of your transaction can make a significant difference to the overall investment cost.

Greece ranks among Europe’s top 12 countries for short-term stay prices — what does this mean for property investors?

A property in Greece can serve not only as a European asset, but also as a potential source of rental income. This is one of the factors that continues to attract international investors to the Greek real estate market.

According to AirDNA data referenced in the article, Greece ranks 12th out of 42 European countries in terms of short-term accommodation pricing.

Popular destinations such as Athens, Crete and Santorini continue to benefit from strong tourism demand.

What does this mean for property investors?

When demand for accommodation remains strong, well-located properties may have greater potential for rental income. Investors can potentially target different tenant and guest segments, including:

• International visitors staying in central Athens
• Holidaymakers in coastal destinations
• Foreign professionals and remote workers
• Families looking for longer-term accommodation

Some locations highlighted for their rental potential include central Athens, the southern suburbs such as Glyfada and Vouliagmeni, as well as tourism-driven destinations such as Crete and Rhodes.

Another factor: Greece’s Golden Visa programme

This is one of the elements that differentiates Greek real estate from a conventional rental investment.

Depending on the property type, location and programme requirements applicable at the time of investment, investors may combine property ownership, rental potential and the possibility of obtaining residence rights in Greece.

However, rental returns should not be the only consideration when evaluating a property.

Investors should also carefully assess the legal status of the property, actual market value, location, rental demand, operating costs and the quality of the local property management before making an investment decision.

Looking at Greek property as both an investment and a potential source of rental income?

As Cyprus moves closer to joining the Schengen area, the government is rolling out significant policy updates to strengthen the transparency and practical value of its investment residency program.

Is the program shutting down? Absolutely not. According to the Deputy Ministry of Migration, the focus is on elevating standards rather than closing doors.

Here are the key takeaways global investors should keep in mind:

🟢 Stricter standards, not closure: The program remains active, but approval criteria are being heightened to ensure high-quality capital flow and genuinely committed participants.

🟢 Review of 12,000 permits: Authorities are thoroughly auditing residence permits issued since 2013 to verify ongoing compliance among long-term holders.

🟢 Strategic capital expansion: Alongside traditional real estate, investments are being encouraged in high-value sectors like education, defense, and innovation to drive sustainable economic growth.

🟢 Controlled & responsible growth: Leadership has emphasized that while foreign investment is vital, it must be carefully managed to ease pressures on the domestic housing market.

🟢 Expert Insight:
These regulatory shifts aren't hurdles—they are filters designed to elevate the prestige and security of Cypriot residency as the nation integrates into Schengen. For international investors, navigating this transition successfully requires meticulous planning and transparent legal strategy.
