CITIZENSHIP
SECOND PASSPORT BY INVESTMENT
Governments have developed Citizenship by Investment Programs offering permanent residency and second citizenships to high net-worth individuals and their families.
Participation in the investment citizenship program is a great chance to become a citizen of another country with all due rights. And as a result, you get a lot of new opportunities in your personal and business life. Apex Capital Partners are always ready to help you understand the diversity of existing investment citizenship programs. And help you get a second citizenship as a licensed agent.
Which countries grant second citizenship for investment?
Not many countries offer investment citizenship. However, the number of existing programs is constantly expanding.
Apex Capital Partners is a licensed agent for key Caribbean programs.
We offer direct acquisition of a second citizenship by investment of Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Grenada and Saint Lucia with no middleman involved. Of course, for each Caribbean program terms and benefits are somewhat different. And that must be taken into account when choosing. However, when you step on this way it takes only about six months to get Caribbean passport. That is quite fast indeed.
If you want to weigh chances of passing due diligence before submitting documents to any of the citizenship by investment program, just call Apex Capital Partners! If there are any points in your biography that cause you to be uncertain about passing checks, you may consult with Apex Capital Partners first.
Owning a UK passport allows you to live and assimilate in the UK, as well as visit more than 170 countries without a visa. And of course, businessmen will be pleased with a loyal taxation system. The period during which you will obtain citizenship, depends on the value of the investment contribution. It can be 5-6 years, and a residence permit can be obtained after 2 years (with a deposit of £10 million).
In February 2022, the Tier 1 program was completely frozen due to suspicions of abuse and financial fraud.
Cyprus
The program of obtaining passport by investments was discontinued on November 1, 2020. Please take a closer look at Permanent residence permit (Fast track) by investments (Cyprus “Golden Visa”) as an option.
MEIN. New program of Malta
Law on the so-called MEIN program was released in November 2020. It allows to obtain Malta’s citizenship through naturalization for a special contribution. The terms of the MEIN program, among other acceptable options, include investments in the economy of Malta. In fact, this is the only current program that directly leads to the citizenship of the EU country. It would take at least 16 months to get this passport by investments. After obtaining citizenship of Malta, it will be possible to live, study and work in Malta. Or in any other EU country. And also take advantage of the opportunity of visa-free entry to 183 countries of the world, including the USA and the UK. The statement can include the spouse, children under 29 years old, parents, grandparents.
The program offers to invest (from 250 thousand euros) in government-approved real estate in different parts of the country. Montenegro’s passport allows you to become an EU citizen with all due rights in the future. Montenegro is about to join the European Union not later than in 2025. It would take from 4 up to 6 months to obtain Montenegrin passport. Having a second citizenship of Montenegro, you can travel without visa to 120 countries. Including the countries of the Schengen zone. And as a citizen of Montenegro, you can obtain a business non-immigrant visa E2 to the United States.
From January 1, 2023, Montenegro does not accept new applications for the citizenship by investment program.
Turkish second citizenship can be obtained for such an option as the purchase of residential property in the amount of 400,000 (until June 12, 2022, the minimum investment in real estate was 250,000). Moreover, it is possible to sell such real estate in three years, while retaining citizenship. It is important to weigh whether this program meets your personal goals. Investor may apply together with the spouse and children under 18 years of age.
In February 2022, it became possible to apply for Turkish citizenship by investments under the current program completely remotely: without opening an account with a Turkish bank, without visiting the Turkish consulate and without arriving in Turkey. Of course, this is a significant argument now in favor of choosing this program.
Benefits of second citizenship
Obtaining a second citizenship for an investment gives many advantages, among them:
Visa-free travel
The value of the second passport is determined by the number of countries that can be visited without additional visa documents.
The right of residence
The second passport makes it possible, if necessary, to immigrate to the country chosen for residence.
Tax planning
The second passport allows to take advantage of certain tax benefits. For example, become a tax resident according to the rules of the country.
Social infrastructure
Second citizenship by investment equates to normal. Thus, the new citizen is facilitated access to educational, medical and other programs. And of course, restrictions on the purchase of real estate are eliminated. And also bans on doing business that are imposed on foreigners.
