A second citizenship can mean wider travel, a long-term Plan B, and options for your family. We assess your eligibility honestly, then coordinate the whole file — Caribbean, Türkiye, Egypt and El Salvador — through government-authorised agents and regulated legal practitioners.
Last updated: June 2026 — program thresholds reviewed against official program offices for 2026.
Free Citizenship-by-Investment Assessment — find out which program actually fits your nationality, budget and family, before you commit to anything.
Get AssessmentA second passport is a serious decision, and the honest answer is that the best program depends almost entirely on your situation — your current nationality, your budget, how many family members you want to include, and what you actually want the passport to do. Travel mobility, a long-term Plan B, a business base, or tax planning are very different goals, and they point to very different programs.
The table below lists every active program we coordinate, with a one-line summary of who it suits. Each links to a dedicated page with current thresholds, timelines and the honest caveats. The most important step, though, is the first one: a clear, no-pressure assessment of where you stand. Find out which program fits — free assessment.
Investment figures below are minimum government-set program thresholds — set by the relevant governments, not by Cosmos, and subject to change. They are not Cosmos service fees. As of June 2026.
| Program | Who it suits | Minimum program threshold |
|---|---|---|
| St Kitts & Nevis Citizenship by Investment | The oldest Caribbean program (since 1984) and the strongest regional passport — for families wanting a well-established, blue-chip option. | From US$250,000 (SISC contribution) |
| Dominica Citizenship by Investment | One of the most affordable Caribbean routes, with no visit or residence requirement — for cost-conscious Plan-B applicants. | From US$200,000 (EDF donation) |
| Grenada Citizenship by Investment | The only Caribbean program with US E-2 treaty access plus China visa-free entry — for those eyeing a US business presence. | From US$235,000 (NTF donation) |
| Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment | Strong value for larger families, with a University fund route — but note current processing backlogs and a 5-day visit rule. | From US$230,000 (NDF donation) |
| St Lucia Citizenship by Investment | A flexible Caribbean option with donation and government-bond routes — for applicants who want choice in how they invest. | From US$240,000 (NEF donation) |
| Türkiye Citizenship by Investment | A large G20 economy with a property-purchase route and no residence or language test — popular with UAE-resident buyers. | From US$400,000 (real estate) |
| Egypt Citizenship by Investment | A budget donation route from a large country — best viewed as a second-citizenship Plan B rather than a travel document. | From US$250,000 (treasury donation) |
| El Salvador Citizenship by Investment | The world's first crypto-denominated program (Bitcoin or USDT), capped at 1,000 applicants a year — a niche ultra-high-net-worth product. | From US$1,000,000 (donation) |

The honest note on travel mobility. Caribbean passports currently offer visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to the Schengen Area, but this access is set by the European Union and is under active review. In its 2025 reporting the European Commission signalled that operating a citizenship-by-investment program may itself become grounds to suspend visa-free access. We frame Schengen access as currently visa-free, subject to EU policy — never as a lifetime guarantee. ETIAS pre-authorisation also becomes mandatory for visa-free travellers in late 2026.
For Indian nationals. India does not permit dual citizenship. Acquiring another citizenship means renouncing your Indian citizenship and surrendering your passport under the Citizenship Act 1955; you may then apply for an OCI card, which is a long-term status, not citizenship. Moving funds abroad for an investment falls under the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (currently USD 250,000 per person per financial year) and your bank's compliance requirements. This is general information, not financial, tax or legal advice — consult a qualified chartered accountant or your authorised dealer bank before moving funds. We raise this at the first session, not after you have committed.
Cosmos Immigration is a regulated immigration consultancy, but we are not a licensed Citizenship by Investment Unit agent for these jurisdictions — and we will never pretend otherwise. For citizenship-by-investment programs, applications are prepared and submitted through government-authorised agents and regulated legal practitioners within our professional network; Cosmos coordinates eligibility assessment, documentation and case management.
In practice that means we do the work most applicants underestimate: confirming you actually qualify, building a clean source-of-funds file that survives due diligence, sequencing documents and clearances correctly, and managing the case end-to-end so nothing stalls. The submission itself runs through the authorised channel for each program.
Citizenship by investment lets you legally acquire a second nationality through a qualifying economic contribution — usually a government-fund donation or approved real estate, set out in each country's law. Caribbean programs such as St Kitts & Nevis, Dominica, Grenada, Antigua & Barbuda and St Lucia are the best known; Türkiye, Egypt and El Salvador run their own programs with different routes and thresholds.
Among the programs we coordinate, Dominica's donation route currently has the lowest minimum threshold, followed by Antigua & Barbuda, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, Egypt, Grenada and Türkiye. El Salvador sits at the top of the range. The right choice is rarely the cheapest, though — passport strength, processing reliability, your nationality and family size all matter. A free assessment compares them against your actual situation.
Indian nationals can apply, but India does not allow dual citizenship — acquiring another citizenship requires renouncing Indian citizenship and surrendering the passport, after which an OCI card (a long-term status, not citizenship) may be available. Moving investment funds abroad is governed by the RBI Liberalised Remittance Scheme and your bank's compliance rules. This is general information, not financial or legal advice; we flag these implications at the first assessment so there are no surprises.
No. Cosmos does not hold a CIU licence for these programs. We coordinate your eligibility assessment, documentation and case management, while applications are prepared and submitted through government-authorised agents and regulated legal practitioners within our professional network. You get one accountable point of contact, with submission handled through the correct authorised channel.
