What exactly is citizenship and
residence by investment?
Citizenship and residence by invest-
ment is the process of achieving the
right to either reside in or become a
citizen of a country usually by making
a substantial investment and commit-
ment to that country. It has also
become a viable and attractive way for

wealthy and talented individuals. We

investors, but now citizenship and
residence are other tools for countries
in the global competition for talent.
