Citizenship By Investment

The rise in globalization has witnessed a relative increase in international mobility and multiculturalism. The concept of citizenship as a form of identity and membership in one particular nation has changed over the years.

The citizenship by investment program is a procedure of legally obtaining a second or third citizenship in exchange for your investment in the host country’s economy. Having a second citizenship can act as a perfect alternative to a better lifestyle, exceptional quality of education, global mobility and new economic opportunities with tax benefits. Holding a dual citizenship through the CBI program also grants the holder with unrestricted access to multiple countries thereby avoiding lengthy and costly visa applications.

With an aim to provide a better life and smarter investment opportunities to our clients, India Sotheby’s International Realty has meticulously selected a few handpicked destinations from around the world that offer citizenship/residency by investment through real estate. This includes Dubai, Portugal, Malta, Spain, Greece, Latvia, Cyprus, Antigua & Barbuda, and St. Kitts & Nevis.
