Independent research and concierge guidance for your second residency.
Golden Visa Insider tracks 47 active residency-by-investment programs across 30+ countries. We pair editorially moderated research with vetted local experts, so investors can go from inquiry to approval without guessing who to trust.
What we do
We are part publication, part concierge. On one side we publish independent dossiers on every major Golden Visa and residency-by-investment program: costs, timelines, eligibility, presence rules, tax overlay and citizenship pathways. On the other side, when a reader is ready to act, we coordinate the lawyers, agents and bankers needed to actually get the visa issued.
Over 12,800 investors have used our research and over €2.3B in applications have been guided through our network.
Why this exists
Most online information about Golden Visas is published by the people selling them: law firms, fund managers, real estate developers, and "consultants" earning commissions on the back end. The result is a market where the easiest information to find is the most biased.
Golden Visa Insider is different. Our editorial side takes no referral fees, no commissions and no sponsored placements. Every fact is checked against the original statute, regulator publication or official PDF in its source language, then continuously monitored for updates. Our concierge side charges clients directly, so the advice they receive is never shaped by who pays a kickback.
How we research
- Every cost, timeline and eligibility claim is tied to a specific statute or regulator publication, verified in the source language.
- Country pages are reviewed every quarter. The "Updated" date is real.
- When a program changes mid-cycle (Spain 2025, Portugal 2023, Greece 2024), we update within 30 days.
- FAQs come from actual reader and client questions, not keyword research.
How the concierge side works
When you are ready to move forward, a coordinator builds a personalized roadmap with timeline and costs, then matches you with pre-vetted lawyers, real estate agents and bankers in your target country. We keep every party moving in sync until the visa is approved, and continue supporting you long after settlement.
What we are not
We are not a law firm, tax advisor, or immigration authority. Nothing on this site is legal or tax advice. Before committing to any program, get a written opinion from a qualified advisor in both your current and target jurisdictions. Our role is to give you accurate information and coordinate the qualified professionals who provide that advice.
