About this directory

Citizenships.ai is an independent directory of investment migration programs. For each program we record the published minimum investment, routes, family rules and status from the official government source, link it, and show the date we checked. Where a figure isn't published or we couldn't verify it, we leave it blank. Citizenships.ai is an independent information directory. Nothing on this site is legal, immigration, tax or financial advice, and we are not a licensed immigration adviser, lawyer or government agent. Program rules and amounts change often: always confirm with the official government source and a licensed professional before acting. More about us · How we make money
