For high-net-worth individuals, the acquisition of permanent residency is often evaluated as a standard asset allocation strategy rather than a life-altering domestic relocation. Within this sector, the $1 million investment threshold has emerged as a standard benchmark. It serves as a dividing line between standard entry-level visa...
