FAQs About Second Citizenship & Residency by Investment Programs
What is the difference between citizenship and residency by investment?
Citizenship programs provide immediate nationality and a passport without the requirement for residency, as compared to residency programs, which frequently lead to citizenship through extended place of residence.
Citizenship and residency are legal statuses; however, citizenship is permanent and grants a person all political rights in a country, whereas residency is conditional and limits a person’s rights (i.e., work, study, physical residence, etc.).
Can the investments be refunded?
Investment recovery is determined by the chosen avenue and investment program; whereas government contributions are typically non-refundable, real estate investments can be sold after a set period of time.
Why is an authorized agent necessary?
To help applicants navigate the process, prepare and submit paperwork, communicate with the government, and offer guidance on appropriate investment programs, authorised agents or agencies are essential. They are necessary for an effortless application process and are usually licensed by the government that manages the citizenship by investment program.
Am I eligible for second citizenship and passport or residency?
Citizenship programs provide immediate nationality and a passport without the requirement for residency, as compared to residency programs, which frequently lead to citizenship through extended place of residence.
Citizenship and residency are legal statuses; however, citizenship is permanent and grants a person all political rights in a country, whereas residency is conditional and limits a person’s rights (i.e., work, study, physical residence, etc.).
How are approvals made by governments?
Governments hire independent third-party due diligence agencies, which use intelligence services to investigate applicant’s backgrounds. These checks include the verification of all documents issued by official institutions in the applicant’s country of origin and residence, media reports, and the verification of any businesses or companies the applicant owns or is associated with. The government also conducts a criminal background check on the applicant through law enforcement agencies and INTERPOL. Once all checks have been completed, the Government will make a decision.
What are the requirements to add family members post acquiring the citizenship?
It is essential to understand the criteria and costs involved in the country of choice when adding family members in the future. This could help you decide between one program and another.
What is Citizenship by Investment?
Citizenship by Investment is a specific type of citizenship law that exists in only a few countries around the world. Citizenship by investment programs allow foreign investors and their families to legally obtain citizenship by investing in the country’s economy. The advantage of this citizenship category is that it takes less time than traditional immigration processes and requires little or no physical residency.
What are the benefits of a second citizenship?
Having a second citizenship offers several benefits, including access to a safe and thriving economy, improved access to international markets and business opportunities, top-notch healthcare, and educational opportunities for both present and future generations. Your birth nationality shouldn’t define or confine you. Having a second citizenship allows you to live a wider life.
Which countries offer Citizenship by Investment?
Dominica, Turkey, Vanuatu, St. Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Lucia, and Cyprus are among the nations that provide Citizenship by Investment programs.
What is a Second Residency?
A secondary residency is one obtained in a different country in addition to the applicant’s primary or current residence. A large number of countries allow their citizens or residents to hold multiple residences and benefit from all of them.
What is Residency by Investment?
Residency by Investment, also known as the Golden Visa, is a type of residency law that allows individuals to obtain legal residency in a country by investing in a designated sector as defined by the residency law of that country. The difference between a Residency by Investment and a residency obtained by the conventional process is that the residency through investment has little or no physical residency requirements.
How does my family benefit from a Second Residency?
A second residence provides the family with access to the health-care system, universities, and job opportunities that may not be available in your home country.
How can I apply for a second citizenship or residency program?
To apply for citizenship, several countries with citizenship-by-investment programs require the applicant to go through a government-approved firm.
What information should I prepare for my initial consultation?
To pre-evaluate your request, some details are essential, like:Â
• What is your country of birth?
• In which nation do you currently reside?
• Do you possess any additional foreign residency permits?
• In the past ten years, have you lived anywhere else? If so, how long have you been a resident of that nation?
• Have you previously had any business or tourist visas denied? Have you reapplied, if so?
• Have you previously been denied citizenship or residency?
• How frequently do you take trips? Which nations do you visit?
• Where will the money for the investment come from?
How long does it take to approve my residency or citizenship?
Residency programs take about two to four months to approve, while fast citizenship programs take three to six months.
