Permanent Residence Permit — Investment (Вид на жительство по инвестициям)

The Permanent Residence Permit for investors is a strategic program aimed at attracting significant foreign capital into the Belarusian economy. Foreign nationals who invest a minimum of 150,000 euros in the country are eligible to apply for permanent residency. This route is often utilized by entrepreneurs or individuals looking to establish a long-term presence in the region. While the investment can take various forms, including business development or real estate, it must be verified through official channels to ensure compliance with national investment laws.

This residency status is particularly attractive because it bypasses the need for the seven-year waiting period typically required for other residency pathways. Investors gain the right to live, work, and conduct business in Belarus with the same rights as citizens, excluding political rights like voting. The process involves a thorough review of the investment's legitimacy and the applicant's background. It is a specialized, high-level immigration route that reflects the government's interest in fostering economic growth through foreign participation.
