Citizenship by investment (CBI) is becoming increasingly popular among investors in the last couple of decades. The concept of getting citizenship is pretty simple; the investor should make either a single donation to a national fund or purchase real estate in the country. 

If successful, dual citizenship offers many benefits including visa-free travel to more than a hundred countries, tax benefits, business expansion, new opportunities, etc.

From the early beginnings of the CBI programs up until now, more than 20 billion dollars per year has been seen in profits annually. The Caribbean island countries and some European countries offer some of the best advantages for investors.

Thus, we’ll learn more about these programs and whether they’ve become a necessity or are still a luxury that only the wealthy can afford.

Dual Citizenship Is No Longer a Luxury

According to the leading experts, the Caribbean countries are some of the best to invest in. Besides the mesmerizing beaches, breathtaking landscapes, and lifestyle benefits,  these countries have competitive citizenship prices and a relatively short window period for obtaining one. The application process can take up to four months; however, this depends on the country and the requirements.

And since many business owners and entrepreneurs choose CBI programs to expand their businesses globally, dual citizenship is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Additionally, second citizenship gives you and your family stability, security, and extra protection in case of civil unrest, war, political or economic instability, etc.

CBI Program Benefits

There are many benefits from the Citizenship by Investment programs. It can boost tax optimization and enable business owners to travel freely to many countries. For example, the Grenada citizenship by investment programs allows its investors to travel freely to more than a hundred countries.

Grenada Citizenship – A Brief Of The Process

Grenada citizenship is the shortest way to get to the USA. With a single investment of $220,000 and additional government fees, you can invest in a viable business in the USA. Moreover, subsequently investing an amount of $150,000, you can also obtain an E-2 treaty visa.

Grenadians have a lot of benefits in the USA thanks to the historical links between these two countries. One of the major benefits is the ability to reside and invest in the United States, travel without a visa to more than 140 counties, and have no taxes on non-US income.

Dual citizenship gives you a hedge against social, political, and economic volatility. You don’t need to live in Grenada, however, but you can in certain cases like the ones mentioned above.

Caribbean Countries – Attractive For Citizenship By Investment

Furthermore, some of the Caribbean countries are part of the Commonwealth; thus, citizens can get access to better education and healthcare systems. The cost of citizenship depends on the country and whether you apply as a single applicant, have dependent co-applicants, or apply as a family.

Financial Benefits

High-net-worth investors apply for second citizenship to protect and grow their wealth and businesses by taking advantage of the taxation systems. Most countries have zero tax on capital gains, inheritance, or foreign income, while many others have relatively low taxes. 

Own A Property

One of the major advantages when applying for a dual passport is the opportunity to own a property in a foreign land. You can purchase real estate for a minimal amount allowed and keep it for at least 5-10 years. Then, you can make profits by re-selling or renting it, and you can earn back what you spent initially.

What’s The Process?

Steps in implementing a strategic approach for citizenship by investment programs include:

  • A background check – file preparation with the required documents;
  • The documents are submitted to the government with the desired CBI program;
  • The investor gets an “approved” message issued through the government;
  • Then the investor chooses the investment options, either through real estate or non-refundable donations;
  • A certificate for naturalization is issued to the applicant;
  • The passport and the insurance are delivered within the same year.

Types Of Client Groups Of CBI

There are three types of client groups of citizenship by investment clients. The first group includes the investors who want to take advantage of the emerging markets and reinvest their capital into different economies while overcoming the political risks, social challenges, and economic uncertainties.

The second type counts the owners of globalized businesses who want to build closer connections in the relevant markets in their industries. The third group is people who look for a better lifestyle, access to quality healthcare and education, global mobility, and security for their families.
