Across the economic spectrum, families seek to gain access to business, career, educational, and lifestyle opportunities on a global scale, enhancing their travel freedom and transcending the constraints imposed on them by their countries of origin. European citizenship by investment (CBI) programs allow individuals and their families to obtain citizenship in a European country by making a qualifying economic contribution. European citizenship provides the right to live, work, and study in the European Union, along with access to strategic business and investment opportunities.
Henley & Partners provides expert guidance on two European citizenship by investment pathways: one through Austria and the other through Malta. With a European passport by investment, individuals can travel more freely to European Union destinations previously restricted by visa requirements, relocate whenever needed, and gain greater independence with an alternative passport.
In addition to citizenship programs, there are also European residence by investment (golden visa) programs that provide a route to long-term residence in the region. Investors seeking residence options may explore programs in Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, or Switzerland.

Austria Citizenship by Extraordinary Achievements
Austria offers citizenship to individuals who make a significant contribution to the country through substantial economic investments or exceptional achievements that serve its national interest. Successful applicants gain access to one of Europe’s most stable and economically developed nations. As the process is discretionary, applicants must demonstrate clear and tangible benefits to Austria.

Malta Citizenship by Naturalisation for Exceptional Services by Direct Investment
Malta offers a pathway to citizenship for individuals who make a direct investment in the country's economic development, subject to stringent due diligence and residence requirements. This process grants citizenship by naturalization to investors and their families, enabling them to live in or own a second home in a strategically located country with excellent air links.

For those seeking residence rather than citizenship, several European countries offer residence by investment programs (also known as golden visas). These programs allow investors to gain residence rights, which may lead to citizenship over time. Some of the leading options include:
