Golden Visa in Europe: the best Golden Visa programs in the EU

Citizenship by investment programmes may not require physical residency and can grant citizenship within 2 to 6 months. Residency by investment programmes grant residency within 3 months but not citizenship. To obtain citizenship through residency programmes, applicants must comply with legal requirements, such as residing in the country for a certain time and paying taxes. However, not all residency programmes lead to citizenship, as it's at the discretion of the government.

The minimum investment for a second citizenship by a single applicant is USD 100,000 which is the cost associated for for St. Lucia and the Commonwealth of Dominica's CBI programmes. Please contact us for an exact price breakdown.

Passport Legacy's CBI programmes require payment in three installments. The first payment is 5%, the second payment is 25%, and the final payment, which amounts to 70% of the total cost, is due after receiving Approval in Principle.

To start the process, applicants need to provide us with KYC (know your customer) documents such as a passport copy, birth and marriage certificates, police certificates, bank reference, and health clearance. Some documents may require translation or legalisation, but our client advisors will guide you through the process.

Acquiring a second citizenship by investment in any country does not usually require renouncing one's original nationality under the citizenship law of the country where citizenship was obtained through investment.
