USA

The United States remains one of the most attractive destinations for global investors. For those seeking permanent residency (Green Card) through investment, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program offers the most efficient pathway.

Established by Congress in 1990, the program allocates a significant number of visas annually to individuals who make qualified investments that contribute to job creation in the U.S. economy. Through this program, investors and their immediate family members can obtain permanent residency within a relatively short timeframe.
