@rami, exactly, they're not going to 'not' give residencies and risk all the investers pulling out and sabotaging future investment.
As for the stipulation. I don't have the articles with me however here is what I do have from it.
"The issuance of the Residency Permit remains subject to the existing medical and character requirements. Once the Residency Permit is issued the holder of the Residency Permit may sponsor his wife[8], children and parents."
Then the definition of medical is a disease or sickness which may affect society or the environment. Character requirements include criminal conviction, if you're Gay (although it would be hard to prove it), and so on.
So it basically says that you are going to get a residency permit UNLESS proven that you should not have one. Which is international regulation.
