Eligibility for this nationality

Lebanese nationals are eligible. The programme draws applicants from across the Middle East and there is no reported bar on Lebanese citizens. Approval rests on a qualifying investment and due diligence, not on nationality.

Applicants must hold the investment for the required period and pass background checks. There is no residence or language requirement to qualify. Confirm the live rules with the Presidency of Migration Management.

Routes

Several investment routes exist. The best known is the purchase of real estate at or above the set minimum, held for a required period with a sale restriction noted on the title deed. Other routes include a fixed bank deposit, government bonds and capital investment that creates jobs. A licensed valuation report is required for the property route. Confirm the live list of routes and minimums with the official authority before committing any money.
