Switzerland does have a direct citizenship by investment program. Significant investment can lead to residency, which can eventually pave the way for citizenship. This is often referred to as the "Golden Visa" or Residency by Investment program. The investment typically involves investing in a Swiss-based business or real estate, creating jobs, and contributing to the Swiss economy.

QUICK FACTS
  • Residency through Investment: Instead of a direct path to citizenship, Switzerland offers residency by investment, allowing foreigners to live in the country through substantial investment.
  • Investment Amounts: The minimum investment required can vary by canton, but it generally ranges from CHF 200 thousand to CHF 2 million or more.
