Israelis seek Portugal, Cyprus and Malta as destinations for immigration

The growing demand from Israeli citizens for investment-based immigration programs is solidifying Portugal, Cyprus and Malta as preferred destinations. Israel ranks 10th in the number of immigration applications, with a significant increase in interest in 2024.
Portugal: the preferred destination for Israelis to reside
Among the countries that most attract Israelis is Portugal, which continues to be the top choice when it comes to residency programs. The Golden Visa program, which offers residency through investments in real estate or funds, stands out, guaranteeing investors the possibility of living in the country and accessing the entire European Union.
This movement reflects the growing interest of Israelis in the stability, security and quality of life offered by Portugal. The 160% increase in applications over the past two years demonstrates Israelis’ confidence in Portugal’s potential as a long-term destination.
Other popular destinations: Cyprus and Malta
In addition to Portugal, Cyprus and Malta are also among the countries most sought after by Israelis, with similar programs that guarantee residency or citizenship through investment.
Malta, with its citizenship-by-investment program, is particularly attractive to those seeking not just residency but also full citizenship, which offers benefits such as voting rights and the possibility of transferring citizenship to future generations. Cyprus, on the other hand, offers a permanent residency program with tax advantages and access to the European Union, which attracts many Israelis seeking new horizons.
