For the family
If your spouse and children are part of the plan, the program's family rules matter more than its price for one applicant.
CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT
A second citizenship.A wider field of action.
Another citizenship may give your family more choices. Which ones matter depends on the rights in your destination countries, the family rules and the capital route – not simply on holding another passport.
01 · WHAT SHOULD ANOTHER CITIZENSHIP DO FOR YOU?
What would your family really gain?
Another citizenship may give your family a second legal connection and open specific options. Whether it proves useful in daily life depends on your household, destinations, capital commitment and the rights of the particular program.
For room to act
Another citizenship may widen specific travel options. We examine the current rights in the destinations that actually matter to you.
For the next chapter
After a business sale or relocation, passport rights, committed capital and tax residence must be planned separately.
WHAT CBI DOES NOT CREATE AUTOMATICALLY
An additional passport does not replace an overall strategy.
- No automatic change of tax residence
- No guarantee of a bank account
- No cure for unresolved source of wealth
- No guarantee of permanently visa-free travel
02 · NINE COUNTRIES, DISTINCT ROUTES

Vanuatu
Our preferred Pacific DSP route to examine when European travel access is not the goal.
Countries are alphabetical; the concise criteria guide decisions rather than ranking quality. Portfolio baseline: August 3, 2026; Argentina's government announcement and selected other sources were checked on 2 October 2026. Dossiers explain sources and limits. Entry figures are indicative and reconfirmed before an application.
03 · COMPARE AGAINST YOUR NEEDS

04 · THE MARKET HAS CHANGED
Programs are no longer assessed only by price and travel access.
EU law, international security interests, and stricter due diligence are reshaping the market. We assess not only today's promise, but how the utility may hold under political pressure.
Cyprus stopped accepting new CBI applications.
The program was abolished. An existing market is not proof of lasting political acceptance.

Citizenship remained; a major mobility benefit changed. This distinction must be understood before deciding.

The Court made clear that EU citizenship cannot be the subject of a purely commercial transaction. Malta is not treated as an active CBI program here.
