Belgium offers residency and citizenship to non-EU investors and entrepreneurs

Belgium offers residency and eventual citizenship to non-EU investors and entrepreneurs who establish a business or invest in the country's economy. The program requires a significant investment, typically €350,000-€500,000 over five years, and involves setting up a Belgian company with adequate capital and proof of operations. After five years of residency and meeting integration and tax requirements, applicants can apply for citizenship, gaining access to EU benefits and freedom of movement.
