When applying for dual citizenship through investment programs, it’s often not even compulsory for you to reside in your “new” country, or for you to give up your current nationality. Obtaining citizenship and/or residency occurs purely by way of investment. You could open a fixed deposit savings account, invest in real estate, contribute to the country’s main industries or do a mixture of both. Whatever the options, our carefully selected team of expert consultants will be there to help and advise you every step of the way.
Connaught Law assists international clients in obtaining residence and citizenship under the respective programs. Contact us to arrange an initial private consultation.
