Many people dream of moving abroad, whether it’s to experience a different culture, a desire for a slower life, or as am escape from the ever changing political climate. But one road block you’ll consistently hit, no matter your nationality, revolves around your visa status. Even if you have a work visa, being able to put down permanent roots in a country where you don’t have citizenship is not at all stress-free. There are some loopholes, however, specifically around international real estate that make the moving (and remaining) process so much easier.

Depending on the country, you can essentially buy your way to citizenship, or at least a permanent residency, by investing in real estate. One of the main caveats comes down to the price, because unfortunately, you can’t simply purchase a $30,000 home in Greece, for example, and expect your dual citizenship to be approved the next day. There are other eligibility requirements you must meet, and they differ by country. These won’t be cheap investments by any means, but ask yourself: How much are you willing to pay to change everything?
