Immigrant Investor Program

Ireland offers some highly favourable advantages over its EU neighbours and is worth considering, particularly for those who are planning on fully relocating to the EU. The IIP grants residency in Ireland to those investing a minimum of €1,000,000 into an approved investment fund, plus fees. The IIP offers fast approval times, with the investment only required to be made after approval.
