Prospective investors may choose to invest in one of the following pathways to move to Ireland with their family:

1# Enterprise Investment- €1,000,000

• Under this option, the eligible investor must be willing to invest at least €1,000,000 either into a single Irish enterprise or across multiple enterprises for the period of three years.
• The enterprise can be a start-up or an existing business headquartered or registered in Ireland. The enterprise must also generate employment for the Irish people.

2# Investment Fund- €1,000,000

• This option allows prospective investors to invest a minimum of €1 million into a qualifying investment fund for three years. The investment fund must be approved by the Irish Naturalization and Immigration Service and be regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.
• The minimum target size for the funds can be €20 million.

3# Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) – €2,000,000

• Under this option, the eligible investor must make a qualifying investment into an Irish REIT listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. A REIT is a real estate investment trust that holds rental property while assessing the investor’s risk and allowing smaller-scale investors to access commercial property returns in a regulated business environment.
• Applicants must invest at least €2 million into one or more qualifying REITs.
• The investment can either be made in a single REIT or be spread across several different REITs.
• The investment should be made for up to three years.
• The investor can share 50% of the shares after three years, and 25% after four years.

4# Endowment- €500,000

Investors under the endowment option may choose to invest at least €500,000 in a public project related to arts, sports, health, culture, or education.

It’s a donation option, therefore, considered as a non-refundable payment. Investors are not entitled to receive any financial returns in this option.
