Residency by Investment
Golden visas and residency across 13 jurisdictions — Portugal, UAE, Malta, Greece and more.
Residency by investment provides legal residence — and, in many programmes, a path to citizenship — through a qualifying investment or a genuine relocation. We work with thirteen active programmes across Europe, the Gulf and Asia.
Residency and tax residency are different questions. A Portuguese D7 does not automatically make you a Portuguese tax resident; a UAE Golden Visa does not, on its own, remove UK domicile. ASJ Group designs the residency and the tax position together.
Family inclusion, physical-presence requirements and route-to-citizenship timelines vary significantly. We map them explicitly against the client's mobility and succession goals before recommending a programme.

Questions we hear on every intake call.
- Which residency programme is fastest?
- The UAE Golden Visa is the fastest at genuine end-to-end residency — typically four to eight weeks. Portugal D7 and Greek Golden Visa take three to nine months.
- Do I need to physically live there?
- The UAE requires roughly one day per six months. Portugal D7 requires meaningful presence. Greek Golden Visa has minimal presence requirements. We match the programme to the presence you can commit.
- Does residency make me tax resident?
- Not automatically. Tax residency is determined by physical presence, ties and each jurisdiction's own rules. We design both together.
