Citizenship by Investment

The most affordable citizenship by investment program in 2026 is often considered to be Naoero, starting from USD 90,000. Naoero offers visa-free access to over 89 countries including the UAE, Singapore and Hong Kong, and allows up to four generations in a single application. Other programmes include Vanuatu DSP from USD 130,000, Vanuatu CIIP from USD 150,000, and both Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda (Nonsuch Bay Resort) from USD 200,000.

The fastest citizenship by investment programmes in 2026 are the Vanuatu CIIP (1–2 months), the Vanuatu DSP (2–3 months), and Naoero (3–4 months). Caribbean programmes including Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia typically take between 4 and 10 months depending on the programme and investment route chosen.

Grenada and Egypt are two citizenship by investment countries that have an E-2 Treaty with the United States. After obtaining citizenship in either country, you are eligible to apply for a US E-2 investor visa, which allows you to live and work in the United States through a qualifying business investment.
