The Citizenship by Investment Program is a process through which investors can acquire second citizenship within a few months by investing or donating. In simpler terms, it can be considered a business transaction where you invest, and in return, you receive citizenship. While some people refer to it as “buying a passport,” others use the term “Economic citizenship.”
Compared to other methods of obtaining citizenship, this program can save you over ten years in acquiring citizenship. In addition, the lengthy naturalization procedures in many countries make Citizenship by Investment very appealing, although it comes at a high cost.
Through this program, the top benefits of acquiring a second passport include visa-free travel, relief from tax burdens, enhanced privacy and freedom, access to investment opportunities, political diversification, and increased security.
The timelines for obtaining citizenship through this program vary depending on the nationality laws of each country.
Determining the best citizenship through an investment program depends on factors such as your cultural preferences, personal goals, and investment objectives.
