What is Citizenship by Investment?

Citizenship by investment is a legal process by which individuals can acquire citizenship of a host country by making a qualifying investment in its economy. This can include contributions to national development funds, investments in government-approved real estate, or other eligible economic activities.

Unlike conventional naturalisation processes, these programmes offer a streamlined and secure route to second citizenship, often without the need for long-term residence or physical presence in the country.
