Why invest in a second passport?
Becoming a citizen of another country will open new opportunities to transform your life.
Optimize Your Tax Savings
Many programs do not have tax on global income, inheritance, capital gains, wages, dividends, interests, or royalties.
Unlock Global Business Opportunities
Many programs offer a number of tax payment reductions for business owners. You can enjoy more global opportunities for their operations.
Safe Haven and Plan B
A plan B for you and your family to build a future that lasts in often stable economic and political environments.
Change for Future Generations
Include your extended family, i.e. parents, grandparents, and children in your application. You will pass on the citizenship by descent to future generations.
Quick and Speedy Process
The average time from application to your citizenship is 2 to 12 months. Much quicker than a 5-year naturalization.

Citizenship by investment is the process of obtaining a second citizenship and passport by investing in the economy of selected countries.
On average, applications are processed in 6 – 12 months. The programs have the added advantage of not requiring any specific skills, language knowledge or residency from the applicant, in essence conferring Citizenship exclusively on the basis of clean record and significant investment.
Global political, social and environmental systems are in a constant state of flux. Being a Citizen of any one country can often leave you prone to travel, residence and banking restrictions based on the rules-du-jour. Having a Second Citizenship allows you to legally overcome restrictions placed on your birth country through your Second Citizenship. Most Second Citizenship jurisdictions are impartial and neutral in the global political sphere and as a consequence afford their Citizens right of movement at all times. Social upheaval and environmental disasters often occur without warning and having a Second Citizenship in such times offers safe harbors.
Yes, it is legal to do so in the interest of protecting your wealth and assets, however, you must fulfill any current obligations to your country of current Citizenship before you move your wealth. The United States of America and Eritrea tax their Citizens globally, which means that even if you do obtain Second Citizenship as an American or an Eritrean, you are liable to pay taxes in your home country. For all other nationalities, tax implications are based on their tax residency.
Any businessperson looking to do business globally needs to ensure his or her Global Mobility is unhindered. A Second Citizenship or Golden Visa allows for such individuals to travel to most areas of the world for important, often last-minute meetings with ease, without having to apply for visas, submit copious amounts of documentation and wait endlessly for their passports to be stamped. With a Second Citizenship you can visit most countries without a Visa (visa-free access) or with visa on arrival. Golden Visas in Europe enable freedom of movement through Europe’s Schengen area, and eventually the advantages of Visa Free access once Citizenship is approved. Second Citizenship and Residency also allows for choosing suitable jurisdictions to optimize taxes, most countries that offer Second Citizenship also feature low taxation regimes that can be highly advantageous.
While the exact percentage of tax savings will vary based on several factors including the tax percentage in your present country, and the specific program you choose to apply for, we have in the past helped to bring down taxes to as low as less than 1% of total taxable income for our clients, saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
Citizenship programs have varying processing timeframes based on the country in question. Most programs in the Caribbean are processed within 4 – 6 months, while European programs are processed within 6 – 12 months, and Turkey within 6 – 12 months. The fastest program is Vanuatu with a processing time of 35-60 days.
All Citizenship by Investment programs allow for main applicants to apply along with their families. Details for each program can be found on the various program pages under Citizenship by Investment.
The general rule of thumb is that you should not have been rejected for a visa in any country that allows visa free access to your new country of Citizenship. However, a visa rejection is not the end of the world. If you are able to apply for the specific region where you have had a visa rejection and get another visa before you apply for your Second Citizenship, your application will not be rejected.
In most cases, countries offer Citizenship by Investment through donations to Government Development programs, Investments into Approved Real Estate or through Financial Instruments like Government Approved Bonds, Bank Deposits etc. Some programs require a combination of two or more of the above in order to qualify for Citizenship or Residency.
All countries reserve the right to approve or restrict other nationalities from applying for their respective Citizenship or programs. You can find more details about individual programs under Citizenship by Investment.
