Govt. to introduce Maldives’ first-ever residence by investment program

Maldivian government signs agreement with Henley & Partners (H&P) to develop and implement Maldives first-ever residence by investment program.

The government of Maldives has signed a historical partnership agreement with the world’s leading international investment migration advisory firm, Henley & Partners (H&P), to develop and implement Maldives first-ever residence by investment program.

The agreement was signed during Maldives-Singapore Business Forum 2025 held on Tuesday.

A residence by investment program allows foreign nationals to obtain legal residency in a country by making a significant financial investment.

Economic Minister Mohamed Saeed announced the signing of the agreement via a post on X on Wednesday morning. According to the Minister, the strategic collaboration would boost investor confidence, Maldives’ global reputation and open new pathways for economic diversification under President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s Vision 2040.

He added that H&P’s global expertise and proven track record will Maldives attract reputable investors, position Maldives as a trusted, resilient and future-ready economy.

H&P is the global leader in residence and citizenship by investment, offering specialized services to hundreds of wealthy individuals and their advisors each year.

The company operates more than 60 offices worldwide and is credited with creating the concept of residence and citizenship planning.

H&P also manages the world’s top government advisory practice in investment migration, having facilitated over USD 15 billion in foreign direct investment. Trusted by governments, the firm has been actively involved in strategic consulting as well as the creation, launch, and operation of some of the most successful residence and citizenship programs globally, such as Namibia, Malta and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

 

The company has been criticized for its core business model, which some believe threatens the fight against cross-border corruption and crime.
