Residency or Citizenship
by Investment
At Richfield, we have the expertise, experience and the partner network of tax professionals, real estate professionals and immigration lawyers for the end-to-end process of gaining residency through investments in Europe, Carribean, Canada and US.
There are 2 kinds of settlement options through investments:
- Golden Visa (long-term residency)
- Direct citizenship (2nd passport)
Some countries offer golden visas, and may or may not have residency requirements as qualifying criteria to graduate to full permanent residency and then to full citizenship.
Other countries, especially the island countries, offer a direct path to passport/citizenship upon investment.

- A better quality of life for your family
- Global mobility and visa-free travel
- Business expansion & diversification
- Kids’ education in world-class institutions
