Investment Programs

The Irish Government launched the residency by investment Program in 2012 to encourage productive investment in Ireland and to provide residency in Ireland, along with the benefits that come with it, to innovative business leaders with a track record of success. The ultimate goal of this program is to create jobs and facilitate future economic development in Ireland.
All applicants for the Irish Immigrant Investor Program must demonstrate that they have a legally acquired minimum net worth of €2 million.

• Enterprise investment: €1,000,000 invested in an Irish Enterprise for 3 years The business might be a start-up or an established company, but it must be registered and located in Ireland, and the investment must help to create or maintain jobs. A three-year minimum investment period is required.

Validity of Residence

To keep your immigration permission, you are not required to live in Ireland. The sole stipulation is that you travel to Ireland at least once a year. For Irish citizenship, one must be physically present in Ireland for the preceding 12 months and for four of the next eight years, i.e. five years.
 

 

Real Estate Investment

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs): Any Irish REIT registered on the Irish Stock Exchange requires a minimum investment of €2 million. The €2 million investment might be split across several Irish REITs.
The entire investment must be held for a period of three years.

• After three years, 50% of the shares can be sold.
• A further 25% can be withdrawn after four years.
• There are no restrictions to keep investments after 5 years.

Mixed Investment: A mixed investment consists of a €450,000 investment in residential property and a €500,000 direct investment in an immigrant investor bond, for a total investment of €950,000. The amount of money invested in the bond would no longer be determined by the value of the property bought.
