The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I’m interested in an investor visa in a warm EU country, or possibly Canada?

My biggest worry is navigating the banking rules/setup in a country where I don’t know the language as I only speak English (my wife speaks passable Spanish).

I say maybe Canada because it’s English speaking mostly, but I don’t really understand if their investor visa is even a possibility.

Any thoughts on where to go?

I’ve read about Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain a bit, and it appears I can either buy real estate (Greece) or invest in the country’s government bonds to gain residency, but my main question for non-US folks here is how hard would it be for an English speaking person to set up a banking relationship in a foreign country?
