- Target annual return: 4–7% net
- Dividend income: Generated from hotel operations
- Catch-up mechanism: Shortfalls may be recovered in subsequent years
- Income-driven structure: Aligned with French visa regulations
The investor purchases one or several hotel apartments before a notary, which are part of a professionally operated hotel owned by a SPV.
The SPV operates the hotel and assumes all renovation and maintenance costs, property taxes, and operational expenses. There is no hidden cost for you and your property.
In parallel, you acquire at least 10% of the shares of the SPV via a capital increase. We transfer a five-year lease right of your property to the SPV to value your capital participation in the SPV before the notary.
Your annual dividends are integrated into your capital until you reach the 10% and €300,000 thresholds. These thresholds represent the minimum requirements for the GV program.
After completing the mandatory 5-year holding period, investors may choose:
Option 1 – Retain the Investment
- Continue owning the hotel apartment
- Receive fixed monthly rental income
- Continue earning dividends from SPV profits
Option 2 – Exit the France Golden Visa Investment
- Exercise the contractual buy-back obligation
- Buy-back executed by the SPV and backed by the holding company
- Option to sell to a third party
The value of your shares represent the dividends you are entitled to from year 1 to year 5. For your apartment(s), we use the value you invested initially minus the renovation costs given the degradation occurring during the five-year holding period.
