Citizenship By Investment Programs
Do I need to live in the country to keep my residency status?
Most Residency by Investment (RBI) programs do not require full-time relocation. However, minimum stay requirements may apply (e.g., visiting once every 1–2 years). These vary by country, and maintaining your status often requires meeting those minimal presence rules.
Can I include my family members in the application?
Yes. Most RBI programs allow you to include:
Your spouse or legal partner
Dependent children (up to age limits, typically 18–25)
Sometimes parents or in-laws (depending on the program)
All included family members receive the same residency rights as the main applicant.
Does this lead to citizenship later?
In many countries, yes. RBI is often a stepping stone to citizenship, but it depends on your residence history, language skills, integration, and meeting local naturalisation laws. Timelines vary — often 5–10 years of residency is required before applying for citizenship.
What are the tax implications of becoming a resident?
RBI gives you legal residency, but not automatic tax residency. You only become tax resident if you spend enough days or have significant ties to the country. Many RBI destinations have favorable tax regimes, but we always recommend speaking with a licensed tax advisor to structure things properly.
