This index answers one question: how often do investment and property residence routes publish a path to permanent residence?
We only include routes tagged as investment residency or property investment in our catalog. Each row uses that route's published path-to-permanent-residence status (yes, limited, or no). Digital nomad and passive-income routes stay on their own indexes.
Limited means the investment product alone is not a clean settlement track: you may need a later switch, a conversion step, or another category before permanent residence is realistic. Capital alone is not a settlement promise. Always confirm the live official source before you plan around settlement.

Method
Rows are generated automatically from Country To Live residence permits where visaTags includes investment_residency or property_investment and pathToPermanentResidence is not unknown. Adding or editing an investment or property permit updates this page, the table, and the CSV. This is a catalog status snapshot, not immigration advice and not a ranking of the "best" settlement countries.
