Many people ask me:

Some of these five countries require you to make a certain minimum investment to get residency, while in others a specific minimum amount is set, and only after paying it can you get residency. Most of them are in Europe.

The first country is Azerbaijan. A visa can be easily obtained from Pakistan; the e-visa arrives within 3 days. The minimum investment is 55-60 thousand USD, i.e., 1 million manat is approximately equal to 55-60 thousand USD. You buy real estate for 60 thousand USD and get a 2-year residency. You can also include your family in these three countries. After living there for 5 years, you can apply for a passport.

The second country is Montenegro. It is a small country located in the Balkan region, with a population of only 500 thousand. Although small, it is an important country and will soon become a member of the European Union, in about 3-4 years. According to Montenegro law, when you buy real estate of any amount here, you can apply for residency, and within 2-3 months you get residency. After living here for 7 years, you can apply for a passport. But the problem is that getting a visa is difficult because there are no consulates everywhere in CIS countries. If you live in Dubai or Saudi Arabia, you can apply for a visa from there. After getting a visa, you can go directly, buy the property, and start your residency.

The third country is Albania. Albania is also a Muslim country and is located in Europe. It is a very beautiful country. The advantage of a Montenegro passport is that you can go to the Schengen area without a visa and also to many other European countries. Albania also wants to join the European Union. Here, after buying property, you can apply for residency. There is no minimum amount set; you can buy real estate of any amount. The Albanian visa is easier than Montenegro’s, and you can even apply from Pakistan.

The fourth country is Colombia. Colombia is also a beautiful country. When you buy property worth 1 million USD, you can apply for residency. After living there for 5 years, you can also apply for a passport. Colombia is in South America, and you can reach there in three hours from the USA, for example, from Miami.

The fifth country is Turkey. In Turkey, both passport and residency options are available. You can get a 2-year residency, and after living 5 years, you can apply for a passport. If you go directly for a passport, an investment of 400 thousand USD is required. This money is refundable and blocked for 3 years. There is no need to block money for the residency option.
