Application Process & Legal Details
What is Residency by Investment (RBI)?
Residency by Investment is a legal pathway to obtain a residence permit in a foreign country through qualifying investments in its economy. This residency status allows you and your family to live, work, study, and access healthcare in the host country — often with a future path to citizenship.
How is Citizenship by Investment (CBI) different?
CBI grants you citizenship — and a second passport — directly, without requiring years of residence. You invest a set amount, undergo due diligence, and receive your passport within months. It’s ideal for maximizing global mobility and asset protection.
Which countries offer these programs?
RBI and CBI programs are available in Europe (Portugal, Greece, Spain), the Caribbean (St. Kitts, Dominica, Grenada, etc.), the UAE, Turkey, Mauritius, and more. Each country offers different benefits and requirements.
How much do I need to invest?
Minimum investments range from $100,000 (in the Caribbean) to €500,000+ (in EU real estate or funds). The amount depends on the country and type of program selected.
What is a Golden Visa?
The term “Golden Visa” refers to residency-by-investment programs, primarily in Europe, that provide residency rights in return for investment. These programs often include travel benefits, tax perks, and a route to citizenship.
Which should I choose — residency or citizenship?
If your goal is a second passport and enhanced travel freedom, go for citizenship. If you plan to live, work, or retire in the country, residency is the better fit. We’ll guide you to the right program based on your personal goals.
Will I be taxed in the new country?
It depends. Many countries (especially in the Caribbean) don’t tax foreign-sourced income. EU countries may tax based on residency status. We help structure your case to avoid double taxation.
Can I use cryptocurrency as a funding source?
Yes — many countries now accept crypto gains as a legitimate source of funds. You’ll need to provide transparent documentation: wallet history, transaction logs, and tax records.
Are there any additional fees?
Beyond the main investment, expect government fees, legal service fees, application costs, and — if real estate is involved — registration taxes and ongoing maintenance.
Is the investment refundable?
In real estate-based programs, yes — after a holding period (usually 5–7 years). Donations to national funds, however, are non-refundable.
Can I take a loan to fund my investment?
No — the investment must come from your own funds. Countries require proof of legal origin and unencumbered availability of funds.
Who reviews my financial background?
Government-approved due diligence agencies conduct thorough background checks, including income verification, legal records, and source of wealth. We prepare your case in advance to ensure a smooth process.
Can I include my family in the application?
Yes. Most programs allow you to include a spouse, dependent children (often up to age 25), and in some cases, dependent parents or siblings.
Will my children have access to education?
Absolutely. Residency and citizenship grant access to public and international schools. European programs often provide affordable or free education options.
Do I get access to healthcare?
Yes. As a resident or citizen, you can use public or private healthcare systems. In countries like Portugal or Spain, healthcare is among the best in Europe.
Do I need to live in the country after approval?
Most CBI programs don’t require physical residence. In residency programs (like Portugal), a minimal stay (e.g., 7 days/year) is required to maintain the status and qualify for citizenship.
Will I lose my original citizenship?
Most countries allow dual citizenship. However, some home countries may not recognize or allow it. We’ll assess your situation and advise accordingly.
Can I pass citizenship to my children?
Yes — in most CBI programs, your citizenship is inheritable, making this an intergenerational legacy. It’s one of the key benefits of such programs.
How soon can I relocate after applying?
In EU programs, you can move in within 2–6 months of application. Caribbean programs usually don’t require relocation but grant citizenship within 4–6 months.
Can I live in other EU countries with residency?
Not immediately. Residency allows you to live only in the issuing country. However, once you obtain EU citizenship, you gain the right to live and work across all EU member states.
How safe are these countries?
All countries offering these programs are stable and secure, with strong institutions and international reputations. Many rank high in global safety indexes.
What makes Portugal, Greece, or Spain ideal for relocation?
Mild climates, excellent healthcare, welcoming communities, and rich cultures make these EU countries popular for families, entrepreneurs, and retirees.
Is language a barrier?
Not initially. English is widely spoken in most countries. Basic language knowledge may be required later for citizenship — e.g., A2 level in Portugal. We help prepare for this.
Can I work or start a business?
Yes. Residency or citizenship allows full access to the job market, as well as the freedom to open and run a business without local partner requirements.
How do I begin the process?
Start by contacting our team. We offer a personalized consultation to understand your goals and recommend the most suitable program. Then, we begin document collection and legal preparation.
How long does the process take?
On average, 3–6 months. Some programs are faster. We guide you through every stage, ensuring compliance and minimizing delays.
What documents will I need?
Generally: passport, birth/marriage certificates, police clearance, health certificate, income proof, and bank statements. We provide a checklist and assist with gathering and translating all documents.
Do I need to visit the country?
Not always. Some programs (like Caribbean CBI) are fully remote. Others (like Portugal or Greece) may require one short visit for biometrics or property viewing.
What is a licensed agent?
A licensed agent is a firm officially recognized by the government to submit applications. We work only with vetted, licensed partners to ensure security and compliance.
What if my application is rejected?
We conduct a pre-screening to avoid this scenario. If an issue arises, we assist with appeals or redirect your application to a more suitable country — your investment is never at risk.
