Citizenship by Investment (CBI) allows individuals to acquire a second passport by making a significant economic contribution to a country. This legal process is governed by national laws and typically involves a donation to a government fund or investment in real estate. The infographic highlights seven countries offering CBI programmes, each with varying passport strengths, costs, and timelines.
St. Kitts & Nevis offers one of the strongest Caribbean passports, with visa-free access to the EU, UK, and more. Its programme, the oldest in the world, requires a donation starting at ~$250,000 and takes 3–6 months. Due diligence is strict, ensuring credibility.
Antigua & Barbuda provides a strong passport and family-friendly pricing, with donations from ~$100,000. Processing takes 3–6 months, and the programme is popular among families due to its cost-effective structure.
Dominica is known for affordability, offering citizenship for ~$100,000. The passport grants broad access, and the process is efficient, typically completed in 3–6 months.
Grenada stands out for visa-free access to China, a rare benefit among Caribbean nations. The minimum donation is ~$150,000, and the process takes 4–6 months. It also offers access to the U.S. E-2 visa treaty.
St. Lucia provides flexible investment routes, including donations and real estate. With a ~$100,000 minimum and a 3–6 month timeline, it’s a versatile option for investors.
Turkey requires a real estate investment of ~$400,000. Though its passport is moderately strong, the programme is fast, with citizenship granted in 3–6 months. It’s popular among Middle Eastern and Asian investors.
São Tomé & Príncipe, a newcomer in 2025, offers the cheapest programme globally at ~$90,000. Its passport is moderate in strength, and the process takes 3–6 months. It’s ideal for budget-conscious applicants seeking legal citizenship.
Each programme includes due diligence checks, legal fees, and government processing costs. While CBI offers global mobility and financial flexibility, applicants must ensure compliance and understand the long-term implications of dual citizenship.
