Citizenship & Residency/Citizenship by Investment

Citizenship by Investment

Citizenship by Investment programmes allow qualifying investors and their families to obtain citizenship in a participating country through approved investments.

Unlike residency programmes, successful applicants obtain citizenship and a passport, often alongside the ability to live, work, study and conduct business within that country.

Understanding citizenship by investment

Investment thresholds, processing times and benefits vary by jurisdiction. Most programmes permit dual citizenship, subject to the laws of the applicant's existing nationality.

Each programme has its own qualifying routes, due diligence standards and family eligibility criteria. We help clients compare options and connect with the right specialists for their circumstances.
