How to compare

Compare citizenship by investment programs

Citizenship by investment programs provide a structured route to a second nationality for applicants who meet a government-defined investment requirement and pass due diligence. Available routes can include national-fund contributions, approved real estate, government securities, or qualifying business investment.

The right program depends on more than the headline investment. Applicants should compare total costs, eligible family members, processing requirements, travel access, tax considerations, and whether the investment must be held for a minimum period. Program rules can change, so each application should be reviewed against the current official framework.

Investment routes

Compare contribution, real-estate, bond, and enterprise options together with government, due-diligence, and professional fees.

Family eligibility

Check the rules for spouses, dependent children, parents, and any age, education, or financial-dependency conditions.

Due diligence and timing

Review source-of-funds evidence, background checks, document requirements, interviews, and realistic processing timelines.
