A spouse, partner, children, parents and grandparents can be eligible under one application. However, definitions of “dependents” and age limits differ for each country.

Yes. Your family can also obtain citizenship under your application. Qualified dependents can include parents and children (minimum and maximum age restrictions apply) with some additional government fees payable.

An investor can add additional eligible family members to the citizenship by investment application even after receiving their passport. A future spouse of the investor, children and grandchildren, parents and the future spouses of the investor’s adult children, provided that the children are financially dependent on the investor, are eligible to join the citizenship by investment application.

There is no time limit within which additional family members can join the program. However, additional fees apply for each family member joining the program at a later date.

All applicants will undergo a thorough due diligence process by the government of the country.

Having a criminal record does not necessarily mean that you will be rejected, particularly if it was a minor offense. An assessment will be made on a case-by-case basis. It is very important to declare everything.

No.

For Citizenship by Investment programs, applicant is not required to visit or reside in the country to obtain the citizenship.

However, Antigua and Barbuda require a short visit after citizenship has been granted.

The Government may reject the citizenship application if:

• Applicant has a recent criminal record (other than a minor offence), is the subject of a criminal investigation or unable to pass the due diligence clearance.
• Applicant is a potential national security risk or is involved in any activity likely to cause disrepute to the country’s good name
• If false information was presented in the citizenship application
• Has previously been refused a visa to a country with which the host country has visa free access.

NB: This is on a case-by-case basis.
