The Golden Visa new home hotspots to beat the Brexit roadblock

THE GOLDEN VISA NEW HOME HOTSPOTS TO BEAT THE BREXIT ROADBLOCKMontenegro, Switzerland and Portugal are the current global new home hotspots, also offering investors the opportunity to gain citizenship or residency via investment through a Golden Visa programme. As revealed by the latest research from, Astons, the international experts on real estate, residency and citizenship through investment.


Citizenship or residency through investment and real estate are closely linked, so much so that many nations offering such a programme also offer the ability to secure residency or citizenship through real estate investment itself.

For example, Astons currently facilitates residency or citizenship by investment into commercial real estate across seven global destinations, including Montenegro.

Montenegro citizenship by real estate offers a fast route to acquiring a European passport, through investing in government-approved projects such as hotels and resorts. The minimum investment required is €250,000 in the North and €450,000 in the more sought after Southern region.

However, whether investing in real estate or via the more traditional routes when securing residency or citizenship, residential real estate is also a requirement for many investors.

Golden Visa PortugalAston’s analysed current property market data across 20 of the most established residency or citizenship via investment locations to reveal which has seen the largest number of new residential homes reach the market this year, providing investors with the best choice when looking for a new home.

Montenegro ranks as the Golden Visa new build property hotspot so far in 2021. Currently, 36% of all properties listed for sale are new builds. With new build homes accounting for 21% of available stock, Switzerland also ranks high along with Portugal (19%), Spain (17%) and Turkey (16%).

At 7%, the UK is home to some of the lowest levels of new build property stock in the global Golden Visa property market along with Thailand. Just Grenada (5%), Ireland (4%), Italy (4%) and the United States (2%) have a lower level of new build homes as a percentage of the total stock available.

Managing Director of Astons, Arthur Sarkisian, commented:

“The availability of real estate plays a huge role in the decision-making process when investing in citizenship or residency, not just commercially but also from a residential standpoint.

This is largely due to the fact that it’s often a decision made for the benefit of the whole family rather than the individual, and so a family home is an essential part of the process when laying strong foundations in their chosen location.

Of course, all Golden Visa locations will have residential purchase options available. However, analysing your options based on the level of new homes reaching the market is also a good indicator of which locations are currently thriving economically.

We’re currently seeing high demand for residency and citizenship in Montenegro, Portugal, Spain and Turkey. This interest is largely coming from UK investors keen to overcome Brexit roadblocks although these programmes were already growing in popularity before this point.

So it comes as no surprise that this uplift is starting to filter through to the domestic property market with each nation seeing some of the largest levels of new homes reaching the market.”
