      What 500K “buys” you is residency. You will have to go through the normal citizenship application process after that if you want it.

        You’re right, I misread that. Thanks for the correction.

        I wonder if they’d do something about that program, since you gotta do 500k and then a 100% tax on a property to live in?

          I went to look it up and just learned that they will be scrapping that next April.
