Investment migration:
your path to global citizenship.
Citizenship by investment and residence programmes offer structured routes to mobility. We align those decisions with your real estate plan, alongside licensed immigration counsel.
Know The Difference
The difference between
citizenship and residency.
Both open doors globally, but they grant very different rights, obligations and timelines. Use this side by side view to frame your decision before we shortlist programmes together.
| Aspect | Residency | Citizenship |
|---|---|---|
| Legal Status | Right to live, and often work, in the country for a defined period, subject to renewal. | Full membership of the nation, typically for life and transferable to descendants. |
| Passport | Not granted. You continue to travel on your existing passport. | A second passport with its own visa-free access and consular protection. |
| Timeline | Often immediate to a few months once approved. | Direct CBI: a few months. Naturalisation: usually 5 to 10+ years of residence. |
| Stay Requirements | Many programmes require minimum days in country to maintain status. | Once granted, no ongoing physical presence is required to keep it. |
| Voting Rights | Generally not permitted in national elections. | Full civic and political rights including voting and public office. |
| Tax Implications | May trigger tax residency depending on days spent and ties. | Citizenship alone rarely creates tax residency, with limited exceptions. |
| Family Inclusion | Spouse and dependants usually included, with renewal obligations. | Spouse, children and sometimes parents included, status typically permanent. |
| Investment Range | From approx. USD 250,000 in property, funds or business. | From approx. USD 100,000 contribution to USD 400,000+ in qualifying real estate. |
| Reversibility | Can lapse if renewal conditions or stay rules are not met. | Generally permanent, revocation is rare and tightly regulated. |

I know minimum investments and rules can shift with each policy update, so I treat these snapshots as a starting point, not the final word. Before you commit to anything, I'll walk you through every figure, eligible asset and timeline together with the licensed immigration counsel I partner with.
