Residency
Why Bahamas
The Bahamas Department of Immigration issues a Certificate of Permanent Residence for life unless revoked. One published economic route requires a minimum investment of USD 1,000,000 in real estate or Central Bank Zero Coupon Bonds, held for at least 10 years. Other official categories include spouses of Bahamians after five years of marriage and long-term work-permit holders. The annual Permit to Reside (temporary / annual residence) is a separate 4Corporate landing and is not this economic Permanent Residence route. Typical processing is 9–12 months.
