Bolivia does not operate a formal golden visa.

Georgia offers renewable property-based residence from USD 150,000 and an initial 5-year investment residence permit from USD 300,000, both without a minimum-stay requirement. A separate HNWI programme can establish Georgian tax residency without the standard 183-day test for applicants who satisfy its asset or income criteria.

Published requirement

USD 150,000 in non-agricultural real estate for the temporary residence permit from 1 March 2026; USD 300,000 for the 5-year investment residence permit

Timeline

Processing time varies by route; no verified timeline is supplied.

Stay

Both the temporary residence permit (USD 150,000) and the investment residence permit (USD 300,000) can be maintained without any minimum number of days spent physically in Georgia — investors are not required to rearrange their daily life or relocate to keep the permit valid. The requirement to maintain ownership of the qualifying property for the duration of the residence permit is an asset-holding condition, not a requirement to personally occupy or spend time at the property. Simply holding a residence permit, even while spending time in Georgia, does not automatically make an individual a Georgian tax resident. Georgian tax residency is a separate determination under Article 34 of the Tax Code, requiring either 183+ days of physical presence in any continuous 12-month period, or qualification under the separate HNWI route (which has no day-count requirement at all). Georgian citizenship generally requires 10 consecutive years of lawful residence plus other statutory conditions — a materially different, more substantive presence profile than either the property-based residence permits or the HNWI tax-residency route.

Greece grants a renewable five-year residence permit to eligible non-EU investors who make a qualifying investment.

No minimum stay in Greece is required to maintain the investor permit. The permit does not grant Greek citizenship or make its holder a Greek tax resident.
