In third place came the United States, whose investment increased 13 per cent last year, to 49.3 million euros, with 75 golden visas granted.

Turkish investment under this instrument fell 19 per cent, to 34 million euros, and South Africa, with an investment of 36 million euros, for a total of 74 ARI, completes the top five, reported CLBrief.
