New Zealand Weighs Targeted Buyer Exemption

New Zealand may exempt certain foreign residents from the 2018 foreign buyer ban to attract long-term settlers.
The likely exemption targets luxury homes and restricts purchases to one residence per household to protect housing affordability.

INSIGHT

Latvia's Golden Visa Gains Traction

Latvia's Golden Visa program surged about 50% year-over-year, driven by much faster processing times than rivals.
Its cheap company-investment route (60,000 euros) and 1–3 month timelines attract applicants from Turkey and the UK.

Consider Latvia if you need quick EU residency and low upfront investment compared with Portugal or Greece.
