Whether you are seeking a second citizenship for economic opportunity, political stability, or a place to raise your family, there are many options now available for people seeking a second citizenship.
The most popular programs currently available are the Citizenship by Investment Programs being offered by a number of British Commonwealth Caribbean countries. Each program offers applicants the choice of investing in an approved real estate project, or by making a direct contribution to a National Development Fund. While the programs are very similar in their structure and requirements, their main differences are their costs, the number of visa-free countries their passports offer, and their ability to include dependent parents, children and siblings. A number of European Union countries have also started to offer their own Residency and Citizenship by Investment Programs as well. Details of each program, organized by country, are available by clicking on the following links:
