Economic citizenship truly opens up a world of possibilities, especially for high-net-worth investors looking for a better quality of life.

In addition to new business opportunities provided by a second citizenship, a second passport from a politically stable and peaceful country can provide the utmost in security. The global mobility provided by different countries varies greatly - some countries offer visa-free travel to only 40 or 50 countries, whereas others provide access to over 140. 

An alternative passport through Grenada Citizenship provides the freedom to travel to 140 countries (including the UK, Schengen, China and Russia) and eliminates the inconvenience of having to send a passport to a foreign embassy or consulate for processing even when a visa is required. Dual citizenship can also allow investors to manage their wealth more effectively through options for tax optimisation in various countries.

Second citizenship can benefit families for generations by opening up access to the best schools in the world, and qualifying them for domestic rather than international tuition fees.

While there are many benefits for the investor, countries also benefit from having foreign investors. By attracting much-needed direct foreign investment, countries can invest in their own domestic projects, such as real estate development, business development and job creation. Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programmes also attract global talent and knowledge aimed at boosting the economy.

Range Developments, an ultra-luxury resort developer, the largest and most established player in the Caribbean, offers access to second citizenship via its CBI programme on the Caribbean island of Grenada.

By investing US $220,000, plus associated fees in a government-approved real estate project, investors and their families are granted dual citizenship, allowing them to make an investment (suggested minimum amount is US $150,000) in the United States in exchange for residency.

Additionally, no visit or residence is required.
