Rules for Applicants
Eligibility Requirements
The main applicant must be over 18 years old, have no criminal record, and demonstrate a legal source of funds. They may include family members in the application, who will receive the same rights as the investor. Depending on the program, the following can be added:
- Children
- Spouse
- Parents
- Grandparents
- Siblings
Costs Involved
Participation Fees
They include the main investment amount as well as administrative fees for due diligence checks, application processing, passport issuance, and any applicable taxes and fees related to property acquisition or business setup.
The total cost of participating in the program depends on several factors, including the country, the type of investment, and the number of family members included in the application. In addition to the core investment, there are mandatory government and processing fees, which are typically paid in stages. Our experts can help you calculate the exact budget.
The total amount usually includes:
- Core investment in funds, real estate, or bonds
- Government application processing fees
- Due diligence fees
- Passport issuance and related document fees
- Legal and licensed agent services
Challenges of Citizenship by Investment
Confidence in Your Outcome
When you obtain citizenship through investment, you become a full legal citizen of the country, with the same rights as any other passport holder. Revocation is possible only in strictly defined cases under the law — for example, if false information was provided or program requirements were violated.
Our role is to make the process predictable, secure, and transparent. We carefully assess each case in advance, select the most suitable strategy, prepare all documentation, and guide you through every stage — significantly reducing the risk of refusal.
- Internal due diligence and risk assessment
- Program selection tailored to your current citizenship
- Full control over timelines and each stage of the process
- Comprehensive document preparation and review
Alternatives
Residency vs Citizenship by Investment
If your goal is to establish a legal presence in a specific country — for example, to open bank accounts, work with financial institutions, or create a stable base. Meanwhile, citizenship by investment serves a different purpose, granting a second passport and an additional legal status that enhances global mobility.
Key benefits of an alternative passport by investment:
- Lifetime status for the whole family
- Visa-free travel
- Ability to pass citizenship to children and heirs
- Legal protection for assets and investments

In addition to the main investor, eligible family members can obtain citizenship and enjoy the same rights.
Spouse
- Legally married or able to provide proof of a genuine relationship.
- Clean criminal record required.
- Successful completion of due diligence checks.
