We spend most of our time in front of screens, in artificial environments, and under constant stress which makes us feel disconnected from our ancient roots.

The name “Golden Visa” comes from the fact that it is often seen as a golden opportunity for investors to gain access to a country’s benefits and privileges, including the ability to work, live, and travel freely within the country. Different countries have different investment requirements and eligibility criteria for obtaining a Golden Visa, but typical investment options include buying property, investing in a business, or making a donation to a government fund.
