What are the differences between residency-by-investment and citizenship-by-investment programs?

Residency-by-investment grants the right to live, work, and travel in the issuing country, while citizenship-by-investment grants full citizenship, including a passport.

Italy’s program offers residency, with the possibility of citizenship after 10 years of continuous residence.

Residency-by-investment programs (AKA Golden Visas) also generally afford applicants the RIGHT to live in the country, but not the OBLIGATION to.
