FAQs

ELEGIBILITY

Each country has specific requirements the applicant must meet to be able to apply for its citizenship by investment programs. Some of the basic conditions are being over 18 years of age, having a clean criminal record, a legal source of funds and investing in one of the government-approved options.

Citizenship by Investment programs do not require the applicant to learn the language. Residence programs, on the other hand, once the applicant meets the criteria to apply for citizenship at this stage a language test could be required. This varies from country to country.

The rejection rate varies depending on each program’s criteria and standards, To prevent a possible rejection and prior to onboarding you as our client, we conduct a pre-screening check - at no cost to you- using sophisticated systems which enable us to understand if there is any potential threat to your application.

Citizenship by investment programs do not require the applicant to reside in the country to obtain the citizenship. However, some of the citizenship programs do require a physical short visit to be granted to passport.

Governments contract independent third-party Due Diligence Agencies who use intelligence tools to check the applicants’ background. These checks include verification of all documents issued by official institutions at the applicant’s country of origin and residence, media reports, verification of their businesses and companies the applicant owns or is related with. The Government also carries out a vetting of the applicant by law enforcement agencies and INTERPOL to ensure a clean criminal record. Once all checks have been finished the Government draws a decision.

CITIZENSHIP

The citizenship-by-investment (CBI) scheme is not illegal and many countries around the world offer CBI programs. There are many legitimate reasons for applying, including improved freedom of movement and/or tax-free offshore banking privileges.

Second Citizenship, Second Passport and Dual Nationality refers to a person who is a legal citizen of two or more countries at the same time. Some countries do not allow their citizens to hold a second citizenship, so it is essential to verify whether this is the case for your country of birth before applying to acquire another one. All programs we promote allow dual citizenship.
Certain Governments establish investment funds and allow applicants to financially contribute to these funds in exchange for citizenship. There are no returns generated from these funds and the capital is non-refundable therefore they are known as “Donations”. Countries can then use these funds to invest in their own projects, such as real estate development, business development and job creation, aimed at boosting the economy. The non-refundable financial contribution is in the form of a one-time payment executed upon approval of the citizenship application after a stringent vetting and due diligence process.

Holding a second citizenship has several advantages you can have access to safe and prosperous economy, better access to business opportunities and global markets, world-class healthcare, education opportunities for this and future generations. You should not be defined and limited by your nationality by birth. A second citizenship helps you to have a more expansive life.
