Artikel 41 Särskilda bestämmelser för personer som ansöker om uppehållstillstånd genom investeringssystem


Summary What does Article 41 of the Anti-money laundering regulation (AMLR) say?

This article targets a specific and high-risk customer profile: third-country nationals seeking residence rights in a Member State through investment.

It builds directly on the standard customer due diligence framework in Article 20 by mandating that obliged entities go further and apply a defined subset of enhanced due diligence measures from Article 34(4) as a minimum baseline for this category of customer.

Important points:

  • Apply enhanced due diligence measures — on top of standard customer due diligence — to any third-country national applying for residence rights through investment.
  • The obligation covers a wide range of investment types, including property transfers, government bonds, corporate investments, donations, and state budget contributions.
  • The enhanced measures required are those specified in Article 34(4), points (a), (c), (e) and (f), setting a clear minimum standard with no discretion to apply less.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
