Citizenship by Investment programs

Programs that grant a second passport in exchange for a qualifying investment or government contribution. We track the full active landscape — Caribbean, Türkiye, Pacific, MENA — along with recently-closed programs (Malta, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Moldova, Montenegro). All figures reflect post-2024 regulatory changes.

Reference only — not legal or financial advice. Always verify with the relevant Citizenship by Investment Unit.
