Article 5: Requirements relating to the granting of residence rights in exchange for investment

Georgios Pavlidis

Chapter 5 in The EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive and Regulation, 2026, pp 55-60 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter comments on Article 5 of the Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (EU) 2024/1640, addressing risks from residence-by-investment (RBI) and similar schemes. It explains monitoring obligations, reporting requirements, the application of a risk-based approach, notification to the Commission, publication of measures, and subsequent assessment. The analysis situates these obligations within broader EU concerns about investor migration channels being exploited for money laundering or terrorist financing.
