Ireland closed its Immigrant Investor Programme on 15 February 2023. It should not appear in active pathway rankings or be presented as available to new applicants.
The retained historical record documents the former €500,000 endowment, €1 million enterprise or fund, and €2 million REIT routes. Its purpose is to answer closure queries and correct stale agency marketing, not to revive the program.
