Citizenship by investment, also known as economic citizenship, is a program offered by some countries that allows individuals to obtain citizenship in return for an investment in the country. This investment can take various forms such as:
- Real estate investment
- Business investment
- Government bond investment
- Donation to a government fund
The exact requirements and conditions for obtaining citizenship through such programs vary from country to country, but they typically involve a significant financial investment, as well as other eligibility criteria such as a background check, proof of language proficiency, and a personal interview. Some countries may also require the applicant to reside in the country for a certain period of time.
There are a number of countries that offer citizenship or residency by investing in real estate, also known as “citizenship by investment” or “real estate investment immigration.” Some examples include:
- Antigua and Barbuda: Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Program allows individuals to obtain citizenship in return for a real estate investment of at least $400,000.
