Citizenship by investment or CBI, is a popular citizenship program that enables individuals to obtain a second citizenship by investing in a foreign country. This type of immigrant investor program has gained popularity as more global citizens seek to broaden their horizons, enjoy visa-free access to more countries, and enjoy many business and family-related rewards.

The process of obtaining a dual citizenship through an investment program involves making a significant investment in the host country’s economy. The investment can take the form of a sustainable growth fund, a government fee, an approved real estate project, or other investment programs that meet the host country’s requirements. The amount of investment required varies depending on the country and the type of citizenship program.

In return for the investment, the host country’s government will grant citizenship and a second passport to the individual and their family members. This type of economic citizenship program grants citizenship through a more straightforward and streamlined process than traditional immigration processes. The process can take between a few months to a year, depending on the country’s requirements and the type of investment program.
