This status is offered not only to the investor, but also to the family members. For the investments made in a specific country, the government in that country offers citizenship by investment, a status that comes with varied benefits like: a second passport, free entrance without applying for another visa, tax benefits, and specific rights through naturalization.
A golden visa program comes with many advantages, among which is the right to immigrate with family members.

What is the mechanism for buying a golden visa in 2026?
Buying a golden visa in any country relies on the following procedure:
- meeting the eligibility criteria, which are different for each country;
- ensuring that you have the minimum amount to invest or qualifications for the scheme (some golden visa programs are created for entrepreneurs with experience);
- preparing the application documents as requested and passing the screening process;
- applying for the desired program and getting the temporary or permanent residence permit, or even citizenship, depending on the chosen scheme.
What are the documents that I need to prepare to get a golden visa?
Generally speaking, you need to draft:
- your valid passport;
- proof that you meet the financial requirements (these are different for each program);
- proof that the source of money is legal (this applies to all programs, as the authorities verify this aspect thoroughly).
Then, each country imposes other requirements, for example, where it is possible to buy a property, the property title or sale-purchase contract must be provided. If you decide to start a business as part of the program, proof of incorporation will be required.
Can I move with my family?
Yes, in most cases, close family members can be included in the program. This means one’s spouse and minor children. In others, parents, adult children, and siblings are also accepted. You must also pay attention if for accompanying family members additional financial requirements apply, as in some countries it is possible.
