People are often looking for a way to get instant citizenship. Even if they don’t plan on living overseas, they tell our consultants that they want to have the option of dual citizenship so that they can opt to expatriate, live in another country, and travel as a citizen of that country. The time it takes is usually an important factor when it comes to acquiring dual citizenship.

CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT
There are several programs to choose from. The overall timeframe depends on the time you take to do your paperwork, and the official processing time varies as well.
1. Antigua & Barbuda.
For a contribution of $100,000 to the country’s National Development Fund, you can submit your application for citizenship. The application can be approved in an average of 3-4 months. You can also choose to invest over $400,000 in designated projects.
2. Dominica.
The required investment amount starts from $100,000. The timeline for citizenship is less than 6 months. You can also enjoy visa-free travel to the UK since Dominica is a Commonwealth country.
3. Grenada
Citizenship in Grenada can be obtained by a one-off contribution of $150,000 to the national transformation fund (NTF). You can also be granted citizenship by investing at least $220,000 into real estate, with a good possibility of making a return on your investment.

8. Malta
