Second passport by investment overview

Second passports through investment have become increasingly popular over the last decade, offering a range of benefits to individuals and families. By investing in a second citizenship by investment program, people are able to gain access to better travel options, improved economic opportunities and greater financial freedom.

Citizenship-by-investment programs grant individuals and their families instant nationality in exchange for an investment into the country’s economy. This can be achieved through various investments such as real estate, government bonds or donations to government funds. Depending on the country’s requirements, applicants need to meet certain criteria before they can be eligible for their second citizenship and passport. Once approved, they will receive a full set of rights and privileges that come with being a citizen of that country. This can include access to consular protection abroad or visa free travel around the world.

Countries offering Citizenship by investment programmes will grant immediate citizenship to applicants and their families once the application process and required investment is complete. That means qualification for a second passport and hence their incredible popularity amongst our clients for the international travel possibilities they present.
