Citizenship by Investment is the method of acquiring second citizenship and passport by investing in the host country’s economy. Citizenship by Investment programs legally confers citizenship status quicker than conventional immigration procedures and does so without asking investors to hold back their lives.
Citizenship by Investment programs would grant the applicants and their families automatic citizenship. That means qualifying for a second passport, and hence their incredible popularity among our customers for the international travel options they offer.
There are several reasons to invest in a second citizenship.
- Security-A second passport from a secure, prosperous country in case of some kind of political instability in one’s home country may be life-saving. Insurance of this kind is invaluable for investors and their families.
- Mobility– Many passports are relatively limited in their mobility without visas, requiring people to obtain visas if they need to travel. A second passport can offer individuals from these countries increased global mobility.
- Business– New business prospects open to applicants through citizenship by investment, as they are now able to do business in the host country, and travel more openly abroad.
- Tax management– Dual citizenship may be useful for tax optimization purposes. For example, in some countries only tax income is received from that country, and no tax is placed on capital gains either. This allows investors to manage their wealth more efficiently and effectively.
Citizenship by Investment programs provide you with the ability to gain a new nationality and an alternative or second passport quickly, and easily without any major disturbance to your life.
Most countries have laws authorizing their government to grant citizenship in exchange for substantial contributions to society, culture, economy, and other state interests. Yet this government discretion is exercised very rarely. In the past, some countries had programs in place that were expressly designed to draw foreign investors in return for citizenship.
Each country has a specific set of criteria that applicants must meet for their citizenship by investment program.
Some programs require medical examinations and proof of good health, while others do not.
However, the conditions given below are common to all:- Provide a clear criminal record.
- Showcasing the investment funds’ legal source.
- Invest in one of the options approved by the government, such as real estate, government bonds, or a national economic fund.
All conditions must be fulfilled to receive the host government’s approval of citizenship applications.
Primary reasons for obtaining citizenship are birth within a given country, descent from a parent citizen, marriage to a citizen, and naturalization. The conditions under which naturalization privilege is granted differ from state to state, but family relationships or extended periods of residency are typically necessary, in addition to good character, and other criteria.
