Pathways

Four Routes to Global Freedom

Understanding the landscape of global mobility. Each pathway serves different objectives, timelines, and investment profiles.

01

Citizenship by Investment

Acquire a second citizenship and passport through a direct financial contribution to a sovereign nation. No prior residency required. Programs range from $90,000 to $1M+ with processing as fast as 60 days.

Government-approved investment (donation, real estate, or bonds)
Full citizenship and passport issued to applicant and family
No residency or language requirements in most programs
Processing from 60 days to 12 months depending on jurisdiction

Key jurisdictions: St. Kitts & Nevis, Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda, Turkey, Sao Tome & Principe

02

Residency by Investment

Obtain lawful residency through a qualifying investment, typically in real estate, funds, or government bonds. Many programs offer a path to eventual citizenship through naturalization.

Investment in real estate, funds, bonds, or business
Temporary or permanent residency granted
Path to citizenship after 3-10 years in most jurisdictions
Minimal physical presence requirements in many programs

Key jurisdictions: Portugal, Greece, Italy, UAE, Singapore, Panama, Hungary, USA (EB-5)

03

Citizenship by Descent

Claim citizenship in your ancestral homeland based on lineage. Many European nations allow citizenship claims through parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents with no investment required.

Processing times vary widely (6 months to 3+ years)
May require documentary evidence of ancestral connection

Naturalization

Often the final step after a Golden Visa or RBI program
Some countries offer accelerated naturalization for investors
