Citizenship By Investment
Citizenship By Investment
While many countries offer residency to investors and high-net-worth individuals, only a select few provide direct citizenship through investment. Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs enable individuals and their families to legally acquire citizenship and a passport in a straightforward and expedited manner, without major lifestyle disruptions. Some programs may require residency prior to naturalization, but this is not always mandatory. For countries that do require it, residency offers economic benefits as investors contribute to the economy through taxes, job creation, and increased consumption of goods and services.
ICS has carefully selected the best CBI programs for you. These programs not only provide visa-free travel but also offer access to markets, modern infrastructure, and a civil society. CBI programs waive the usual waiting period for naturalization in exchange for an economic contribution, such as a government donation or real estate investment. These programs are among the fastest routes to obtaining lifelong citizenship and a passport.
