Citizenship by Investment
Your gateway to global opportunity
Citizenship by Investment, commonly known as “CBI” is a straightforward legal process to obtain a passport by investing in a country. It is can be a smart move to boost your personal and financial freedom, giving you access to global opportunities and easier travel. Since the first program started in 1984, more and more people are choosing this option to have a secure backup plan for themselves and their families.
Think about traveling the world without stress. A second citizenship makes business trips, vacations, or emergency travel smoother and more enjoyable. Beyond travel, it opens doors to new business opportunities by giving access to markets with better regulations or low-tax regimes. It can be also a way to secure a better future for your family, by getting residency in a politically and economical stable country, with access to world-class education, healthcare, and quality of life. On top of that, it is a legacy you can pass down to your future generations, giving them the same freedom and the opportunities you have worked hard for to achieve.
The difference between citizenship and residency
Citizenship gives you full rights in a country, like the ability to vote, work, and get a passport. Residency lets you live and work in the country, but you will not get voting rights or a passport right away. However, residency can often lead to citizenship over time.
Tax benefits of another passport
A second citizenship can potentially help you save on taxes. Many countries with CBI programs have low or no income tax, capital gains tax, or other taxes for their citizens. Some countries also have tax agreements to make sure you do not pay taxes twice on the same income. But not only tax benefits can be advantageous, you could also benefit from greater access to financial institutions, such as offshore banking.
