About Citizenship-by-Investment
Residence- and citizenship-by-investment programs
enable nations to grant residence or citizenship rights
to individuals in exchange for a substantial investment. St. Kitts and Antigua and
Nevis Barbuda
Austria Moldova Turkey
Citizenship-by-investment refers to the process 27th 30th 7th 49th 55th
whereby qualified and carefully vetted candidates are
granted full citizenship in exchange for their significant
economic contribution to the passport-issuing state.
Residence-by-investment refers to a similar process,
but candidates in this case are granted temporary
residence, which can be extended to permanent
residence or, in some cases, citizenship at a later stage.
For individuals, the key benefits of holding an
alternative passport include expanded travel mobility,
access to business and educational opportunities on a
global scale, ease of asset diversification, and improved
safety and security in a rapidly changing world.
For host countries, the foreign direct investment
secured through these programs creates both sovereign
and societal value. Debt-free liquidity is injected into
the economy, resulting in additional capital flows both
to the public sector — encouraging fiscal autonomy,
diversifying the economy, and creating employment
opportunities — and the private sector, in the form
of investments in existing enterprises, infrastructure,
start-ups, and real estate. St. Lucia Grenada Malta Montenegro Cyprus
There are now residence- and citizenship-by- 33rd 35th 9th 46th 16th
investment programs in nearly 100 countries
around the world, including more than 70% of EU
member states.
