Residency & Golden Visas
Curaçao’s Wealthy Investor permit runs in three tiers — three years, five years and indefinite. Curaçao amended its immigration law in May 2026, and XIPHIAS confirms the current requirements under the 2026 legislation before filing. Naturalisation yields Netherlands nationality with EU citizenship.
