Frequently Asked Questions

Citizenship programs confer immediate nationality and a passport without residency mandates, unlike residency programs, which often lead to citizenship through prolonged domicile.

Citizenship and residency are both legal statuses, but citizenship is perpetual and offers a person all the political rights in a country, whereas residency is conditional and has restrictions on the rights of a person (i.e. work, study, physical residence, etc.)

Investment recuperation depends on the chosen avenue and the investment program; while government contributions are generally non-refundable, real estate investments may be sold after a stipulated duration.

Authorised agents or agencies play a crucial role in guiding applicants through the process, preparing and submitting documentation, liaising with the government, and providing advice on suitable investment programs. They are typically accredited by the government running the citizenship by investment program and are essential for a smooth application process.
