Citizenship by investment (CBI) and Permanent Residency programmes offer individuals and families the opportunity to obtain citizenship or residency in another country through a qualifying investment. Beyond a second passport or permanent residency, these programmes can provide greater global mobility, new investment opportunities, tax optimisation and added flexibility for the future.
For business owners and entrepreneurs, they can also create opportunities to enter new markets, establish international operations, access eligible government contracts and programmes, and build greater long-term business security.
