What is the difference ?
In an increasingly globalized world, entrepreneurs and investors are looking for ways to diversify their assets, reduce their tax burdens, and expand their international reach. One of the most popular methods for achieving these goals is through the use of residence by investment and citizenship by investment. But what exactly are these programs, and what are the differences between them?
In this article, we will detail the key distinctions between Residence by Investment (RBI) and Citizenship by Investment (CBI), to help you make an informed decision about which option is best suited to your personal and professional needs.
La residence by investment allows individuals and their families to obtain the legal right to reside in a specific country through a financial investment. This usually involves investing in real estate, creating jobs, or making a significant contribution to the country's economy.
Le Golden Visa of Greece is a popular RBI program where investors can obtain residency by purchasing real estate or making other qualifying investments, such as creating jobs or investing in business projects. After five years, residents can apply for citizenship.
La citizenship by investment, on the other hand, allows individuals to gain full citizenship in a country in exchange for a significant financial contribution. This often involves a combination of donations,real estate investments or commercial projects which directly benefit the country's economy.
Dominica offers one of the most well-known CBI programs, where individuals can become full citizens by making a financial contribution to the government's sustainable development fund or purchasing real estate. This allows for global mobility and access to various tax benefits.
Although both options, Residence by Investment et Citizenship by Investment, offer significant advantages, they address different needs and have distinct advantages:
