The EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is the American equivalence of the so-called “Golden Visa” program, which is used in many EU countries to attract foreign investment in exchange for the benefit of residency or citizenship rights. With an investment of $1.8 million and the creation of 10 American jobs, a foreign investor, the spouse and their children under 21 years old can get U.S. green cards and potentially become U.S. citizens if other requirements are met. The minimum investment threshold is cut in half if the selected investment project is located in a Targeted Employment Area.
