Title: Residency and Citizenship through Investment  The 2015 Report for Emigrants, Expatriates and Investors
Description: This (approximately) 200-page e-book examines the prospect of obtaining foreign residency and a 2nd citizenship by making an investment in any one of 12 selected countries and the province of Quebec in Canada. It explains how to live, operate a business, retire and enjoy a good standard of living in exotic, sunny islands such Grenada, Antigua, St Kitts and Nevis, Dominica and Mauritius; tropical Central American states such as Belize, Costa Rica and Panama; EU-member states such as Spain, Portugal, Malta and Cyprus, and Quebec in Canada.
It examines the topic of economic emigration, in other words how to obtain residency by making a relatively modest investment in another country, or some cases, a more substantial investment - this could include buying a house, investing in government bonds, starting a business, or even by making a once-off donation to a government institution.
The book provides a detailed analysis of 13 countries with emphasis on their history, political stability, personal safety, housing market, tax and healthcare, cost of living, how to get there, entry requirements and how to obtain residence. It contains hundreds of colour photographs and country-by-country links to immigration departments, diplomatic missions, emigration and tax consultants, real estate agents, expatriate clubs, newspapers and tourists websites.
It is the perfect guide for those looking for a comfortable and affordable country in which to retire or start a new life, preferably away from overzealous government bureaucracies. It will also appeal to those who want to escape politically and financially unstable regions of the world and are prepared to make an investment to secure the right to settle in safe and welcoming countries and the privilege of travelling with a second passport, unencumbered by too many rigid visa restrictions.
