Citizenship by Investment (CBI) is a program offered by certain countries that allows individuals to obtain citizenship by making a significant financial investment in that country. These programs typically involve investments in real estate, government bonds, businesses, or other approved ventures. Click here for more info.

Caribbean nations like Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, and Dominica.

Benefits may include visa-free travel to numerous countries, access to better healthcare and education, business opportunities, political stability, and potential tax advantages.
The cost varies significantly depending on the country and the investment options offered. Generally, it can range from hundreds of thousands to several million dollars in terms of the required investment.
Common investment options include contributions to a national development fund, purchase of real estate, investment in government bonds, or starting a business that generates employment in the country.
The processing time varies among countries but can generally take 3-6 months, or longer, depending on the complexity of the application and the due diligence process.
While specific requirements vary by country, applicants typically need to pass a background check, provide proof of funds from legal sources, and may have restrictions based on their criminal record or nationality.
Generally, citizenship obtained through CBI grants the same rights as any other citizen of that country.
