La Vida Golden Visas to Attend IREIS in Abu Dhabi

ABU DHABI, UAE - Oct. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- The new European golden visa programmes are attracting huge interest from China and the Middle East for investors in real estate.

La Vida is a leading real estate agency and consultancy offering properties in several countries granting a golden visa for property investment and will be attending the 6th annual International Real Estate and Investment Show in the UAE in November 2014.

Many investor visa programmes in the past had required applicants to live in the country to retain residency often leading to tax residency in that country. In the last few years programmes have been launched in countries such as Spain, Portugal and Cyprus that give real estate investors the right to live in the country without demanding their presence there.

"Clients are attracted to the security or "insurance option" of the visa and the ability in many cases to travel freely throughout the EU without having to apply for a Schengen visa" says Paul Williams CEO of La Vida.

Spain and Portugal offer a residency visa for investment of just €500,000 in real estate. It grants the right to live in the country and the freedom to travel throughout the EU. It can also, in the case of Portugal, lead to citizenship of the country after 6 years and hence EU citizenship with a full European passport. Cyprus offers immediate citizenship to those investors willing to spend €2.5 million on real estate.

Clients of La Vida are often business people needing frequent access to the EU yet planning ahead for their family and children whether that be for education or insurance against political and economic uncertainties at home. In addition to the visa benefits clients can invest in any property above the minimum investment level. La Vida offers a full portfolio on properties suitable for international investors whether it be for lifestyle, rental or future capital growth.
