Get in touch with us to find out about residency rights in Ireland under the Government’s Immigrant Investor Programme.

The Immigrant Investor Programme was established in 2012 during the financial crisis and is administered by the Department of Justice.

It’s widely used to secure investments from groups of foreigners for single projects such as housing, primary care centres and nursing homes.

The Immigrant Investor Programme enables foreigners from outside the European Economic Area to secure residency in Ireland for an initial period of two years.

The residency can be extended up to 10 years if certain criteria are met, and successful applicants and their families don't have to actually live in Ireland, but must visit once a year.

To qualify, the applicants must apply to invest via the programme in one of four categories.

One option is to invest at least €1m across any number of Irish companies for a minimum of three years. The businesses can be a start up established by the investor, or an existing business registered in Ireland. The investment must support the creation or maintenance of employment.

Alternatively, investors can opt to make a minimum investment of €1m in an approved investment fund; invest a minimum of €2m across real estate investment trusts listed on the Irish stock exchange; or provide a minimum philanthropic endowment of €500,000 to be used in a project to benefit the public in the arts, sport, health, cultural or educational fields.

Most of the time, for the material items, which are with a range of a price (like Tiles, Sanitary fitting, Light fittings, etc.) to price bid on an equal basis.

It is a sum provided for work or services to be executed by a nominated subcontractor, a statutory authority or public undertaking or for materials or goods to be obtained from an approved supplier.

Benefits of allowing Prime cost sums also later on client or consultant can make certain changes of the specification changes to the prime cost items without causing any variations.
