CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT DEFINITION 

The concept of Citizenship comes with the concept of Nation-State. Every national state provides certain rights to its citizens. We cannot be born in some Nation-State by choice. It is the decision of Nature and sometimes of the parents that where their child should be born. Some Nation States even today take citizenship as the birthright of the child born within their boundaries. This includes some of the most advanced countries like the USA and CANADA.

Being a citizen of a country inherently brings some rights and responsibilities. You are bounded by Law of the land and culture of the society you are a citizen.

CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT-DEFINED

You yourself do not choose your citizenship at your birth. But once you grow up and successful in your economic life then you have some choices to choose your citizenship by investing or donation in the public funds of certain counties. This is known as citizenship by investment Programs (CIP)

Citizenship by investment is the process of obtaining a second passport and citizenship by making a financial contribution to the economy of the host country. Programs that grant citizenship through investment do so legally, more quickly than regular immigration procedures, and without asking investors to put their lives on hold.

REASONS FOR SECOND CITIZENSHIP?

There could be a number of reasons as to why someone would invest in the second passport. The reasons could be ease in travel, quality of life, crisis in the home country, economic depression in one’s homeland, better business and economic chances of success, better education, medical and social conditions in the host country. There are some people who would take second nationality since many people around them have taken it and they can easily afford it.

 BENEFITS OF THE HOST COUNTRY

The country that offers second citizenship through investment gains a lot of benefits out of it. The money injected through this investment boosts their economy. Sometimes some countries invest in certain sectors in order to strengthen them for example real estate, sugar cane industry, etc.

Another benefit is that their own society gets more diversified there is an intermingling of the different cultures which in the long run benefits the nation as a whole. New ideas with new entrepreneurship and new job creations can be the additional benefits.
