How citizenship by investment works
You invest in a country. In return, it grants you citizenship. Legal, set out in law, with passports for your whole family.
The differences sit in the details: donation or real estate, 61 or 157 visa-free countries, 2 months or 2 years of waiting. The cards show you the 3 numbers that matter first.
Comparing on price alone is comparing wrong. Our guide to citizenship by investment walks you through every step.
Common questions
What does a second passport cost?
Among the programs we handle directly, from USD 90,000: São Tomé and Príncipe and Nauru. Government fees and due diligence per family member come on top.
Do I have to live there?
Not for the Caribbean programs or São Tomé. You get the passport without relocating. Some countries require a short visit or an interview.
Can US citizens hold a second passport?
Yes. The US allows dual citizenship. As a US citizen you stay taxable in the US, wherever you live.
