The Immigrant Investor Programme (IIP) is a great opportunity for wealthy investors to secure immigration permission to Ireland on the basis of a long term investment of a sum of money in a project which has been approved for that purpose by the Irish Department of Justice and other Government stakeholders.The programme is designed to encourage investors and business professionals from outside the European Economic Area to avail of opportunities of investing and locating their business interests in Ireland and acquire a secure residency status in Ireland. Applicants to the IIP must be high net worth individuals with a personal wealth of at least €2 million. The IIP requires applicants to invest a minimum of €1 million for a minimum of three years. The funds used for an investment must be from the applicant’s own resources and not financed through a loan or other such facility.

The Irish Visa Investment Agency can offer an asset backed social housing investment which meets this criteria. You only invest after your official approval has been obtained.

This is by far, the most popular of the four investment options. It is the one we recommend the most.

The Social Housing Shortage in Ireland

  The Irish Government has made a  committment to increase the

  supply of housing to an average of 33,000 houses per year in Ireland over the

  next decade.

You establish your interest in applying for the Immigrant Investor Programme and sign a contract with the Irish Visa Investment Agency. You will then pay our standard fee to a solicitor.

We will then start the process of gathering all of the necessary paperwork to facilitate your visa application. We will ensure that the legal documentation is fully completed and all requirements are met.

The appointed solicitor fully examines the legal documents and finalises the application forms.

They lodge the application with the INIS and pay the application fee on your behalf.

When the INIS approves your application, usually within three months, the solicitor receives an official letter confirming your approval.The solicitor will notify you of this. You must lodge €1,000,000 with the solicitor within 2 weeks of being notified.
