What is the difference between citizenship and residency?
Citizenship gives you a passport and citizen rights; residency gives you the right to live in the country while keeping your nationality, and may allow naturalisation later under each country’s law.
Are these programmes legal?
Yes. They are official government programmes set up under each country’s laws, and every applicant goes through strict due diligence.
Can my family be included?
Most programmes allow a spouse and dependent children, and some allow parents, under each programme’s rules.
Do I need to live in the country?
Most citizenship programmes have no permanent-residence requirement, and some ask for a short visit. Residency programmes have their own rules.
How long does it take?
It varies by programme and due-diligence stage, and is often measured in months.
Is my nationality eligible?
Each programme has restricted nationalities and exceptions. Tell us your nationality and country of residence and we will show you what is actually open to you.
