Citizenship by Investment

Naturalization by investment is the highest route for all immigration projects. The selected applicants will directly obtain the citizenship and passport of the selected country. Becoming a citizen enjoys more benefits and freedoms than a permanent resident. Different countries have different investment requirements for citizenship, and the process is more stringent. Even without the need for naturalization procedures, applicants and their families can directly obtain citizenship. Citizenship is permanent and can be passed on to future generations. Most countries/regions in the investment citizenship pathway allow dual and multiple citizenship, which provides additional benefits for moving to another country for better opportunities.

Difference between Citizenship and Residency by investment

The citizenship pathway provides direct citizenship and a strong passport for the entire family. With this passport, applicants will have global mobility and visa-free travel to more than 100 countries/regions. Citizens will be entitled to all social benefits, the right to vote, hold public office, participate in politics and obtain government positions. For Indian applicants, India does not allow dual citizenship, and applicants must surrender an Indian passport to obtain citizenship in another country. Of course, applicants can apply for Indian Overseas Citizenship (OCI) and get all relevant benefits. Considering that they have good networks and connections with the immigration country, experienced business immigration consultants can help prepare investment citizenship applications.

On the other hand, permanent residency is granted indefinitely and has specific physical residency requirements. Permanent residents can retain their citizenship; however, they miss some of the benefits that citizens enjoy. Except for voting rights, public office, government work, and politics, PR holders receive almost the same civic benefits. Permanent residents can obtain citizenship through naturalization procedures that meet the actual residency requirements.

Benefits of citizenship by investment.

1) Countless benefits– The biggest benefits of citizen investment projects are even more than those of PR holders, such as social welfare, voting rights, holding public office, higher government positions, and entering politics.

2) Faster Process– Certain citizenship channels can pass due diligence and efficiency processing within 3 to 6 months.

3) Global mobility– Having a passport (Canada, UK, Australia, EU countries and Caribbean countries) allows you to enter more than 100 countries visa-free

4) Quality of life– All countries with citizenship by investment provide a high standard of living, high-quality education and healthcare, economic and political stability, and low crime rates.

5) Protection of overseas citizens– All citizens can seek help from embassies, consulates or other diplomatic agencies when traveling by boat or encountering any danger.

6) Citizenship of the entire family– According to the plan, the entire family is eligible for citizenship and can also be transferred to future generations.

7) Business opportunities– After obtaining citizenship, applicants can conduct business activities in these countries or move to another country to obtain better business opportunities. Most countries have dual or multiple nationality.

8) Tax management– Most citizen countries are “tax havens”, and citizens do not need to pay taxes on overseas income, inheritance, gifts or capital gains.

Projects for obtaining citizenship through investment

Almost all European Union countries, Caribbean countries, British Overseas Territories and Oceania countries have many projects for investment citizens. Investment methods involve enterprises, government bonds, donations, real estate or development funds. Each country has different investment requirements and application procedures. To master the process, applicants must receive the services of an experienced and authentic business immigration consultant.
