Overview Ireland
The Irish Residence by Investment programme was initiated by the Irish government in 2014. The aim was to increase to number of affluent third country nationals taking up residence in Ireland. It sought to make Ireland’s already prosperous domestic economy more internationalized, thereby incorporating itself more successfully in an increasingly globalized world economy.
