Portugal suspended its popular real estate investment category after foreign buyers drove property prices up in the Algarve region. Italy doubled its flat tax on wealthy foreigners to 200,000 euros ($217,000), responding to concerns about market disruption in luxury real estate hubs like Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malta&#8217;s program, demanding investments of $1-1.2 million, offers the most direct path to\u00a0European Union\u00a0(EU) citizenship. Despite ongoing legal challenges from the EU, immigration attorneys expect Malta to maintain its program, which has become a cornerstone of the country&#8217;s economy. Those seeking more affordable options increasingly turn to Caribbean nations like Antigua and Barbuda, where citizenship through real estate investment starts at $300,000.<\/p><div id=\"antig-4280452685\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_1115\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_1115.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The application process itself has become increasingly complex.
