Understanding citizenship by investment
Citizenship by investment (CBI) allows qualifying applicants to obtain a second nationality after meeting a defined investment threshold and passing government due diligence. It is not a purchase of status—it is a regulated legal process where your file is examined for compliance, source of funds, and security risk.
Programmes differ by region: Caribbean units often emphasise speed and global mobility; Turkey and Egypt blend investment with large domestic markets; smaller jurisdictions may highlight tax neutrality or treaty access. The right choice depends on your travel profile, family structure, tax planning, and how long you are willing to maintain the investment.
One World Immigration supports you from preliminary screening through document certification, submission, investment execution, and passport collection. We do not guarantee approvals—governments make final decisions—but we invest in file quality and transparent milestones so you always know what comes next.

Step-by-step process
Step 1 · 1 day
Preliminary due diligence
Anti-Money Laundering checks are run against international databases to identify refusal risks and choose the most suitable CBI program.
Step 2 · 1+ weeks
Preparation of documents
A full document pack is prepared, notarised, apostilled, translated where needed, and submitted to the authorities of the chosen country.
Step 3 · 1+ months
Main due diligence
Authorities conduct the main background check. Caribbean routes include a mandatory online interview in the investor's preferred language.
Step 4 · 1-3 months
Fulfilment of investment requirements
The investor completes the required investment, such as a contribution to a state fund or approved real estate purchase.
Step 5 · 2+ weeks
Obtaining a passport
Authorities issue the naturalisation certificate and passport, delivered by post or collected in person according to program rules.
Family inclusion and compliance
Who can be included
Most programmes allow a spouse and children; many also permit parents and, in some cases, siblings. Age limits, dependency proof, and extra government fees vary. We model family pricing early so you are not surprised by add-on costs at submission.
Due diligence depth
Expect police certificates, litigation checks, employment or business references, and bank references. Politically exposed persons (PEPs) and complex source-of-funds trails may require additional affidavits. Hiding material facts is the fastest way to a refusal—our pre-check is designed to surface issues while you still have options.
After you receive the passport
You may need to renew the passport, register locally if you relocate, or update investment holdings for programmes with hold periods. We advise on renewal calendars and can coordinate with local counsel where you choose to reside.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I have to renounce my current citizenship?
- It depends on your country of origin and the host programme. Some states allow dual nationality; others require renunciation. We flag this during planning so you do not face surprises after naturalisation.
- How long must I keep the investment?
- Contribution routes are generally non-refundable. Real estate and enterprise options often carry statutory hold periods before resale. Exact rules change with regulations—verify the current unit circular before committing.
- Will I become a tax resident automatically?
- No. Tax residency is usually based on days present, centre of life, or domestic law tests—not merely holding a passport. Speak with a qualified tax adviser for your situation.
- Can I use cryptocurrency for the investment?
- Very few units accept crypto directly. Most require traceable fiat transfers from compliant banks. We help present a clear source-of-funds narrative that consulates and units can understand.
- What if my application is delayed?
- Delays can occur during peak filing periods, incomplete documents, or extra diligence questions. We monitor queues and escalate through licensed channels where appropriate.
