Astons, the world’s leading authority on residency and citizenship through investment, has examined the 13 new countries that are considering offering citizenship or residency by investment (CBI/RBI) programs and has selected the four that they feel offer the most alluring investment and lifestyle opportunities for investors.

There are now 13 countries, ranging from Turkey to Vanuatu, that grant full citizenship to foreign nationals in exchange for financial investments into the local economy, real estate, and infrastructure.

13 more countries are now thinking about implementing new CBI (or RBI) schemes. Astons believes the following four will be the most well-liked options among investors.

Citizenship or residency by investment nations insist that investors surpass a minimum investment threshold before being granted citizenship. This minimum varies from nation to nation, with the price ranging between $100,000 and $3 million+. The Maldives, however, has not yet stated its threshold, but based on the fact that it’s a luxury travel destination to rival Monaco and Capri, it’s safe to assume the Maldives CBI program will be a product for High Net-Worth Individuals (HNWI).

Astons ranks the Maldives as the best and likely most popular new CBI destination based on the aforementioned luxury and beauty, alongside the fact that English is a pseudo-official language, and it appears to be good for businesses, especially those owned by citizens.

Furthermore, safety levels in Maldives are relatively good, and the local tax system can be considered favourable in a nation that offers the choice of either a bustling life in the city or a relaxed vibes of beachside living.

Greece has offered residency by investment (RBI) for some time,
