There are many
second passport programs in the world, although many people are not aware of
the handful of incredibly fast and efficient citizenship programs that make
obtaining a second passport without having to leave your country of residence
country or give up your original passport.
With the
exclusion of marriage or birth, a dual citizenship can be granted in one of two
ways;
1. Naturalisation: The naturalisation
method is a safe and less expensive method
of acquiring a second passport. To proceed with the naturalisation option,
permanent residency must first be approved by the government. Upon receiving
the approval, you are requested to migrate to said country for a certain time
period (depending on the required number of years to earn a citizenship.) Once
the requirements have been met, applicants are eligible to apply for
citizenship status. This process, depending on the desired country of
citizenship, can take anywhere from 3 to
12 years.
2. Economic Citizenship: This method is a faster, easier and much more
convenient alternative whereby you have the option to purchase your citizenship
through an investment program. This program is accessible in certain countries
around the world including British Commonwealth countries such as St. Kitts
& Nevis, Dominica and Antigua & Barbuda. The programs can vary with
options ranging from a financial donation to the economy of the country, or a
real estate investment approved by the government.
Currently the
most popular citizenship by investment program is in the British Commonwealth
Island of St. Kitts & Nevis whereby an applicant, upon providing a minimum donation
of 250,000 USD to the Sugar Industry Diversification Foundation (SIDF) or investing 400,000 USD in property real estate
can get a second passport and dual citizenship without residential requirement
and in as little as 6 months.
