Citizenship by Investment - Trust Our Experts!

What is citizenship by investment?

Citizenship by Investment (CBI) is a legal process of acquiring citizenship based on a significant financial contribution to the country’s economy. Such economic citizenship programs are initiated at the state level and allow foreign investors and their family members to become citizens of the country without the need for long-term residence or naturalization.

CBI programs offer a simplified way of acquiring citizenship for wealthy individuals willing to invest in the host country’s economy. In return, the investor receives a passport of that country with all rights, including visa-free travel, the ability to open a business or an account in local banks, as well as legal and physical protection. These investment programs are strictly regulated and require full due diligence, ensuring the procedure’s legality and transparency.

Different forms of contributions are accepted under Citizenship by Investment programs:

Some countries also offer combination options, such as donation to the national economic fund+ rent/purchase of housing.

Countries and their conditions

CBI programs are more than just an alternative to traditional naturalization. They are a strategic tool that opens the door to visa-free travel access, tax optimization, asset protection, and personal security. Below is a comparative table of the most popular citizenship by investment jurisdictions.

The choice of country for citizenship by investment depends on your goals: from the speed of obtaining a passport to access to the EU, the level of tax burden, and the inclusion of family members. Vanuatu and Dominica’s programs are ideal for quickly obtaining a passport as they don’t have tax on capital gains and you can get a second passport without making significant financial contributions. However, some investment countries like Malta and Austria offer the prestige of the European Union but with a higher entry threshold.

Our Services – How We Help You Obtain Citizenship

The first step is to choose the right country and a suitable foreign investment program. We carefully analyze the client’s goals (business, security, tax optimization, freedom of movement), budget, and personal circumstances (family status, valid residence permit, etc.). This allows us to offer the best option: from quickly obtaining a passport in the Caribbean to citizenship in European countries through investments in Malta or Austria.

Our team fully understands the investment requirements and provides comprehensive legal support at all stages of the process:

• Preparation and verification of documentation, including legalization, translations, and apostilles;
• Drafting investment agreements, processing real estate or fund transactions;
• Interaction with licensed agents, banks, notaries, and government agencies;
• Representing the client during due diligence and interviews, if provided for by the program.

All actions are carried out in strict accordance with the legislation of the country of citizenship and international standards for combating money laundering.

In addition to obtaining citizenship, we help clients obtain long-term visas, residence permits for family members, work and student permits. After the main procedure is completed, our team continues to support clients: from obtaining tax residency to consulting on second citizenship and using the new passport in business practice.

The main advantages of a second citizenship

One of the most compelling arguments in favor of a second citizenship is the possibility of visa-free or simplified entry to dozens of countries around the world. For example, citizens of Malta have access to more than 180 countries, including Schengen, Great Britain, Canada, and Japan. This significantly simplifies business trips and tourism without the need to go through lengthy visa procedures.

A second passport opens access to a high level of medicine, education, and social infrastructure from several countries. You can not only live freely in the chosen country, but also register a business, invest in real estate, and your children can enroll in the best schools and universities as local citizens.

Having a second citizenship allows you to effectively distribute financial and legal risks to other countries. In crisis situations, it provides the opportunity to choose a safe jurisdiction for living or doing business. In addition, a properly structured migration strategy allows you to optimize the tax burden as some countries don’t tax foreign income.

A second passport can be part of a long-term strategy to transfer wealth to future generations. In jurisdictions with flexible inheritance and gift tax regimes, you can ensure that assets are legally and profitably transferred to your heirs. In addition, having an alternative citizenship provides a greater choice of legal instruments to protect assets from political, economic or legal risks.

Safety, ecology, access to high-quality medicine, the opportunity for children to receive an education in the world’s top educational institutions – all this becomes a reality with the acquisition of a second citizenship. This is not only about comfort, but also about confidence in the future. Many countries participating in investment citizenship programs are included in international ratings with a high development index, which makes them an ideal choice for a new foothold.

How We Work – Step-by-Step Process for Obtaining Citizenship

Each case begins with a confidential consultation, during which we assess the client’s individual goals, legal status, citizenship and financial capabilities. It is important to determine why you need a second citizenship: for freedom of travel, tax planning, asset protection or family relocation. We also consider potential restrictions, including restrictions on the country of original citizenship, sanctions risks and family circumstances.

Based on the analysis, we offer the client a list of countries whose programs meet his needs. We provide detailed information about each program: investment amounts, review periods, the possibility of including family members, and legal obligations after obtaining citizenship.

At the document preparation stage, our lawyers take on full support: checking the package of documents, translations, apostille, notarization, checking all data for compliance with the requirements of the selected jurisdiction. Particular attention is paid to due diligence – verification of reliability. We identify and eliminate potential red flags in advance to prevent refusal.

Once all documents are approved, we will arrange for the application to be submitted through the official authorities of the destination country. We will support the client at all stages:

• Payment of government fees and investment contribution;
• Coordination of medical certificates and visas;
• Interview support;
• Application status monitoring and regular reporting.

Upon completion of the procedure, you receive a certificate of naturalization and a passport of the new country. But our work does not end there. We continue to support you: we help you open bank accounts, consult on taxation and declarations, organize document extensions, inclusion of new family members and other services at your request.

Working with us is not just a legal service, but a comprehensive support. We care about your safety, confidentiality and success at every stage. Contact our specialists to go through the path to a second citizenship with a guarantee of quality and legal protection.
