Frequently Ask Question’s

What is citizenship by investment?
It is a government-regulated process through which an eligible applicant may obtain citizenship after completing a qualifying investment, passing due diligence and receiving government approval.
Which countries offer CBI?
Established citizenship by investment countries include several Caribbean jurisdictions and Türkiye. Programme availability, nationality restrictions and investment requirements can change.
How much does CBI cost?
The total cost depends on the selected country, investment route, number of family members, government fees, due-diligence charges and professional costs.
Which is the cheapest CBI programme?
The answer depends on the applicant’s family size and selected investment route. The lowest headline contribution does not always represent the lowest total application cost.
Which is the best CBI programme?
The best citizenship by investment programme is the one that appropriately matches your objectives, financial profile, family composition, source of funds and long-term requirements.
Can I include my family?
Many programmes allow eligible spouses, children and certain other dependants to be included. Age, relationship and financial-dependency rules vary between countries.
Do I need to live in the country?
Some programmes do not require long-term physical residence, while others may have visit or residence conditions. The rules of the selected programme must be checked before applying.
How long does the process take?
Processing time depends on the country, the complexity of the application, due diligence, document completeness and government workload. No processing period should be treated as guaranteed.
Is citizenship approval guaranteed?
No. Approval is never guaranteed. The final decision is made exclusively by the relevant government after reviewing the complete application and due-diligence results.
What is the difference between CBI and a Golden Visa?
Citizenship by investment can lead directly to citizenship after the required process. A Golden Visa normally provides residence rights through investment and may offer a potential pathway to citizenship after meeting separate residence, language or naturalisation requirements.
Can a Pakistani citizen keep Pakistani citizenship after obtaining another nationality?
This depends on Pakistani law, the destination country and the applicant’s circumstances. Applicants should verify the latest position with the Directorate General of Immigration and Passports and obtain qualified legal advice before proceeding.
