Citizenship by investment allows high net worth individuals to legally acquire citizenship of another country by investing in its economy. This shortcut to citizenship provides an alternative passport and long-term residency rights. There are two main options:
Citizenship by Investment Programs: Make a substantial investment into a country’s businesses, real estate or government funds in exchange for citizenship and a passport, usually within 3-6 months. No residency requirement.
Residency by Investment Programs: Invest in real estate or other options to gain residency rights in another country. Can lead to citizenship after meeting residency term (1-5 years).
