Curaçao investor residence permit ('Investors permit 2014', Richtlijnen Investors permit 2014 under art. 7 Landsverordening Toelating en Uitzetting)
Sells the right to live in the country (a “golden visa”), sometimes leading to citizenship later.
Business investment of XCG 500,000 (Caribbean guilders, which replaced the Antillean guilder; the 2014 decree said ANG 500,000) gives a 3-year permit; XCG 750,000 a 5-year permit and XCG 1.5 million an indefinite one (t-8f7527a98b, t-f2256dc4d0). The 2014 decree also accepts buying property; the Immigration Service page (Sep 2026) mentions only business investment. Fees excluded (XCG 1,865 for the 3-year permit).
Notes from the research
Residence permit for high net worth investors: ANG 500,000 gives a 3-year permit, ANG 750,000 a 5-year permit and ANG 1,500,000 an indefinite permit; purpose includes purchase of real property or a business investment. The 2014 decree (in force 1 Oct 2014) replaced a Ministerial Decree of 3 August 2009 (not read), so an investor scheme existed earlier; 'launched' left empty. Curaçao is a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands; Dutch citizenship after residence is not part of this decree. Status active (checked 2026-10-11): the Immigration Service's current page (last modified 29 September 2026) describes the permit with the same tiers now in XCG (500,000 / 750,000 / 1,500,000; fees XCG 1,865 / 3,095 / 6,170) and takes applications online. A 2025 revamp reported in the press was not found on the official page. The 2009 decree predates Curaçao becoming a country within the Kingdom (2010); it was not read, so launched stays empty. No counts found.
