It is a huge emigration of Chinese Super rich that escape the country this could be more damaging to the Chinese economy than in previous years, but it is an Opportunity of other country , firms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is this program so popular with Chinese citizens?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Golden Visa is a citizenship by investment or residency by investment program. It is geared towards wealthy foreign nationals who want to acquire residency in a certain country by investing a substantial amount of money or by purchasing a property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying to a Golden Visa grants the applicant and its immediate family members (spouse &amp; children) the residence permit which can be renewed indefinitely as long as the investment is maintained. There is little to no requirement to actually be physically present in the country that issued the Golden Visa. This means that you do not need to relocate to another country unless you want to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, the Chinese have been the biggest consumers of Golden Visas programs, which have also proved to be very popular among wealthy people from South Korea, Russia, and the Middle East. Many investors view the programs as a way to establish their families permanently abroad, particularly in popular destinations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Others see them as an insurance policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to immigration experts Chinese nationals are at the front of the line in order to acquire these golden tickets to Europe. Interest from Russia, the United Arab Emirates and South Africa is also stirring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"732\" height=\"456\" data-id=\"45145\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seoagencychina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/china-visa-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45145 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/seoagencychina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/china-visa-2.png 732w, https:\/\/seoagencychina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/china-visa-2-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/seoagencychina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/china-visa-2-600x374.png 600w, https:\/\/seoagencychina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/china-visa-2-400x250.png 400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 732px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 732\/456;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Golden visa regulations to attract Chinese investors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
